To think 6 year olds should not be wearing this

[welliments]

Merchandise from a major dance show at the excel centre in London next month. They sell these, and tshirts from age 6 up.

I’m going to have to explain to a 10 year old why she can’t have a jumper...

I thank you

I saw that slogan on t shirts by IDS at least 10 years ago.

Attitude is a ballet position. It's a bit like an arabesque but with a bent leg.

You just keep totally contradicting yourself...

nope.

Mumsnetters do it up the arse at Centre Parcs

Mumsnetters do it with a scarf.

Still can't believe Maybeline getting away with it all these years...

The "maybe she's born with it?". That's another reasonably well known saying (meaning "naturally attractive") which is made clear by the context of the advert.....

The vehemence with which a few posters object to the very suggestion of something's offensiveness always outweighs the OP's own strength of feeling about the potential offensiveness

Love the sweatshirt, I'll take my creative commission in gin

So, knowing what other people will think this jumper means. You would still let your 6 year old wear it, yes?

It is. But you refer to being "in" attitude. Or possibly use it as a noun. 'WIth" attitude makes no sense in that context.

Tread carefully with the professionally unoffended.

It’s a necessity of their role to turn a blind eye to their own outrage and offence.

Would you let your child wear a Nike t-shirt?

Are you dodging the question bluemirror?

Natalia, nobody is saying that “attitude” is not a ballet position. It’s the rest of the wording that’s the problem.

Would you let your child wear a Nike t-shirt?

I probably wouldn't. But I don't like things with slogans on and I particularly hate "branding" children. I'd prefer the pink hoody, which is just a bit tasteless rather than anything else.

Are you welliments?

I would. I'd also let them wear Nike and eat McDonalds

....as I've been saying right through this thread! It's a pretty obvious double entendre.

Yes, but I need the Centre Parcs jumper

Well this thread has shown how many people post without rtft!
Op’s Mind is not in the gutter. Over a decade of seeing this “joke” makes it the first thing you read it as if you were of a certain age at the time.
It is very much about what other people think not what the child thinks and I would not want to encourage a perv who did understand the old joke to think of my child in the process

Mumsnetters do it with Stunt Pineapples

I’m not dodging at all.

It’s just that I asked first, several times and you didn’t reply.

And I did ask the question that the thread was about.

But in the interests of being genial, here is my reply...

No, I wouldn’t let my 10 year old wear a Nike top full stop. I’m pretty consistent in my beliefs. mainly because ethically I don’t like Nike. I also don’t like the idea of a 10 year old walking round in a top that says just do it.

And you?

Mumsnetters do it with a penis beaker?

That one’s upthread griddlebone

Well, bugger! Or possibly "well Center Parcs!"
