they're for storing cool rocks, obviously, and it's adults who are the fools for abandoning this wisdom

Rocks, snails, sand, bottle caps, so many possibilities!
Tater tots
Multiple? Look at Mr fancy pockets here
Cargo diapers
So much sand. So very much
Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.
They get them hooked on pockets when they're young, then magically take them away for "professionalism" and "dress code"
A couple of years off the pockets and they'll be back, but this time the only way you're getting pockets is with a baby or one of those giant purses with chihuahua.
Its to encourage having babies.
Need pockets? Use your baby's pockets!
And this is why my combats are my fave trousers. Screw the crap that is decorative pockets. Which degenerate came up with that?
Parent here.
I assure you they have goals.
Are they your goals? No. But they are goals.
Those keys on the counter? That dog food bowl? The poison under the sink? All goals
Also, cannot overstate how selfish you are for not letting them have ANY of the poison under the sink. Would be entirely justified to scream and cry until you learn how to share.
I mean chemical X was good for the powerpuff girls.
Ay but how did it fare for Mojo Jojo, or the Rowdy Boys? And we all know what happened to Bunny...
As a parent, you can shove stuff in their pockets. It's convenient storage that stays with the baby and usually they won't mess with it overly much.
Like your drug contraband. If the cops find it what are they going to do? Arrest a baby?
"It's coming right for us!"
They definitely have goals. Not long term ones, but "sneak cool rocks home" is a goal.
It's to hold lizards and acorn caps.
I WISH my kids would bring home lizards
For candies and cool rocks
As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.
Cool rocks
Former baby here. Obviously for random things they find on the ground
Former baby
I'm glad you overcame that difficulty 💜
For acorns, pebbles and trash that seemed useful at the moment?
Leaves, good pieces of mulch, snacks
My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.
Nose storage
It's mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.
Clearly for rocks and acorns....
For rocks.
Pocket sand. Obviously.
For muddy rocks, cool bugs, weird grass that makes you itchy, neat mushrooms, this weird fuzzy thing, etc.
For rocks and grass and sand
By that logic, I also do not need pockets.
I thought like a lot of people their goals mostly revolved around suckin' titty. Was I wrong?
Now I'm wondering why I have pockets on MY clothes
To hold the debt
Dirt
Ice cubs, little kids pockets are for them to stuff ice cubes in.
Neither do most grown ups.
