I could not believe my eyes (Kinda BR, but not really)

I was looking on Etsy at some of the cute stuff and I ran across this gem:

Check out the rest of her shop. It is full of these little nuggets.

  • Oooh, "baby battle rattle" just gave me an idea for a new toy.

    I'll use 20mm rounds filled with beads and market those as baby battle rattle!

    That was what first struck me. I think the Navy one might be the worst. Granted I've never understood the blue camo. If I'm floating in an ocean, I want someone to find me.

    I've made some pretty similar quipps to my husband. 

    Its like the Etsy lady had a ton of old uniforms and changing pad covers just hanging around or something.  The fabrics don't even work well together...

  • Not gonna lie...I'm tempted to email her and see if she'll make an ACU cloth diaper cover with velcro for a name tape.

    Haa I have always thought the same thing.  I mean put me in orange please!

  • I've always guessed the grey/blue Navy camo print was made so that they blend in with the grey of the ship- making it difficult to target individuals.

    This is a huge assumption though.

    I think you're right Mary. However, it does pose a bit of a problem if for some reason you end up in the water.
