6. A very short one, for the moms.
Off topic, I hate the way "mom" has replaced the word "mother".

16. Well, I meant in general
E.g., on news broadcasts, no matter what the subject, whether light or serious, mothers are always moms. Increasingly, fathers are always dads. That even applies to stories about animals and their young. It's like a mass reversion to childhood.

23. Mom is more familiar, much friendlier sounding. It takes
up less space in headlines and such.

18. It'll just be the ugly ones
Edited on Thu Mar-24-11 12:17 PM by sharp_stick
by that point and then you may as well just turn around and toss them on your own yard sale table because you won't use them.

20. Right - like the annual used book sale - wait until the last hour
and get the crappy ones that nobody else wanted, but the price is right.

14. Gently Used Children's Clothing?
Caveat Emptor. Sounds like the kids they are selling may be duds. I know my kids were never ever gentle with any of their clothes.
