Internet Baby Clothing Surprise
By Carl Kinnebrew
As a Grandfather now, I am trying hard not to get left behind in this ever so changing world of technology. So I thought that I would turn to the internet to do some shopping for my new Granddaughter. After all, this is the way of the new millennium isn't it? No fighting the crowds at the mall, and no searching for that parking space that is so close to the front door so that you can avoid as much exercise as possible. And no direct contact with people. This is the real appealing part. I won't have to smile back at the friendly sales clerk, or say thank you to anyone. It is all plastic and electric.
But to my surprise, internet shopping for infant clothing is not what I thought it would be. I found a website that I thought was baby clothing titled Baby Phat Clothing, but I could not find any baby clothing at all. They had teenage clothing and adult clothing, but no baby clothing. Their Baby Phat clothing line included Baby Phat clothing for women, but no clothing for my Granddaughter at this stage of her life. Even though I found a site for Baby Phat wholesale clothing, it did be no good.
So in my search I came across customized baby clothing, organic baby clothing, baby boy clothing, discount baby clothing, baby boutique clothing, and the strangest of all, Adult Baby Clothing. Now this site will open your eyes to the world of strange. There is actually a website that sells baby clothing for adults to wear. Why an adult would want to wear baby clothing is beyond me. But apparently there are enough of those people out there to keep a business going. All of a sudden internet shopping was not what I thought it would be. It is easy to get lost in this electronic world. I had no idea what kind of shops that I would walk into.
Now I did find some baby clothing stores on the internet, but by now the crowds at the mall don't look too bad, and I guess I could use a little exercise. So I think that I am off to the mall to look for that smile on some friendly clerk's face and I'll smile back and say thank you. I'll save the latest technology for the next generation who don't know any better.
