So I know the craze for kids right now are the I ♥ Boobies bracelets.
My own personal opinion - Let the kids wear them and stop being so uptight about them. They are supporting a great cause - Breast Cancer. Click here to visit their website. I am not offended that my nephews are wearing these bracelets! They are wearing them for me and all the other women who have or have had breast cancer. Sure, I'm not naive, I know that some kids are wearing them only because they say 'boobies' on it. But, I don't care...they are still getting the word out, they are still supporting the cause. Kids know what boobs are for goodness sakes!! (insert your own choice words here) I have read several articles and seen a few interviews online about kids having these bracelets taken away, getting in trouble for having them, having to wear them inside out so the bad word 'boobie' doesn't show. There was one kid who could continue to wear the bracelet but not around 2 specific teachers -one who had had breast cancer and the other who had lost someone to breast cancer, because they were offended by them. Offended!! Can you believe that...don't you get what is going on! Wake up people - it's time to talk about it! Stop hiding under a damn rock! They aren't wearing the barcelet to offend you, they are wearing it to support you.
Okay, off my soapbox now...thanks.
Feeling a little crappy today, have been since Sunday night. I'll be okay.
Still smiling,
Yolanda
