First, the most recent Silly Internet Quiz post has been removed. Apparently if you are a liberal, the quizmakers punish you by making your blog look like crap.

I’m still a liberal, but I’m not linking to the quiz any more. :)

And Shana is a genius for figuring out why my blog was suddenly broken.

A few days ago, Isabel posted pictures of her fridge, the contents entertainingly labeled. I don’t know why I loved that, but I did. So here are mine. To see the labels, click on the pictures and hover over the notes on Flickr.

And now for something completely different. Bitching about Noah’s day care again.

Here’s how Noah’s shoes have been labeled for the last month or so. This is also how his socks are labeled, and how his other shoes are labeled.

And here is how they came home yesterday:

How They Got Labelled at School

WHY?

Why would you write SMACK in the middle of the cute decorative part of a child’s shoe? Or any other article of clothing?

Ok, I know that in Montessori, for some reason you aren’t supposed to send the kids in clothing with characters on it. But I don’t think this is what they mean, the rule has never been enforced against us, and I still think writing on it is the WRONG way to handle it, if that’s the issue.

If the issue is that it’s too inconvenient to look at the sole of the shoe to see who it belongs to, how about on the tag? Or on the band around the ankle? How about anywhere except ruining how cute it looks???

Am I overreacting? Cuz I think I might be, but I am mad. MAD.

Edited to note: Photo Friday this week is Fabulous Footwear. How about this for “formerly fabulous footwear?”
