Here is some weird, possibly disturbing, news..

Found this on newsoftheweird.com

Lead story:

The Modern Mother: Style- and environment-conscious Canadian mothers insist on cloth diapers, especially designer labels of flannel, fleece or wool-knit, according to a November report in Toronto's Globe and Mail. Handmade embroidered diapers (perhaps in tie-dye or camouflage) are priced at up to $80 each (and some babies get to wear them only just after taking care of business in an ordinary diaper). [Globe and Mail, 11-13-07]

And, in London, mothers can take babies for workouts, as several gyms recently reacted to warnings about childhood obesity by creating programs to shape up kids as young as 10 months (teaching galloping, "monkey jumps" and forward rolls), and in February, one gym will begin accepting 4-month-olds. [Daily Mail (London), 11-13-07]

I think cloth diapers are great. We're hoping to switch to them, but they do tend to be spendy for the brand I want.

Any retard that would pay $80 for a diaper OR take their baby to a gym have some real issues. I think I might just look into producing some of those diapers though. Hmmm... sounds like a good investment plan.

I'm not really surprised. I see so many people in this country wasting there time rushing about, doing a lot, but not really accomplishing much. They spend a great deal of time away from their family, doing what they think will make them successful. Unfortunately, in the end it takes their eyes away from the really important things like their children and their communities.

'Tumble Tots' and similar gym clubs for young children have been running in the UK for many, many years.
