And you thought the Americans were over the top on warning labels. Folding laundry this morning (whoo hoo, more pre-kids hedonism on a Saturday!) I noticed that the tags on my maternity undies read "KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE." How does one react to this label?
a) Well, DUH!
b) Rats, there go my plans for making a little extra money on the side before the baby comes.
c) What's your definition of "away"?
d) Who is this label for?
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
