So, I was at the mall today (due to an incident involving an iPhone and a pavement), and I wandered through Primark’s children’s section. Initially, I was pleasantly surprised to see PINK cardies in the boys’s section (admittedly, it looks like maybe this is because preppy is coming back, but I’ll take what I can get). Feeling good, I took a photo (which didn’t come out very well). The good feeling lasted about 30 seconds, as I turned to see this one, in the girls’ section.

On Valentine’s Day I got two cupcakes each with pink plastic rings with large hearts of them. A couple of dozen placed strategically with boys’ wear might convey radical ideas.
A reason for checking out a party goods stores…

Think what they could do for little boys!
