Are you wearing your children's clothing?

I recently visited suburban America, yes I am an urban snob, and while I was there I noticed a few too many grown women wearing what looked like children's clothing. To give you an example, I stopped in at a local dive bar with my friend, who sadly is stuck in suburban hell due to a house purchase situation, and there was this 40 something woman sitting at the bar having a tall cocktail, smoking a cigarette and wearing a Winnie the Pooh cast of characters on her overall bib. First of all, at 20 one should realize that overalls can only be worn while tilling the land or if you are 5 years old. Secondly, you are way too old to be sporting Winnie the Pooh on your chest if you are over the age of 11 or 12. And last but not least, I do believe Pooh would disapprove of any of his followers/fans smoking and drinking in his presence. With all that said I also want to mention to these grown ups running around with Pooh and Disney characters embroidered onto their clothing...Please get out of children's closets. It is creepy. Look at your 5 year old son/daughter or grandson/grand-daughter and then imagine them at 30 leaving the house to have a shot and a beer wearing the same type of outfits they are currently wearing. So wrong, right? It is time to grow up and put your big boy/girl pants on people and please keep Pooh out of the bars.
