Expensive pajamas are flammable

As a parent, I now realize that some of my pre-parenthood theories are true.

One of my theories: it’s completely dumb to spend a bunch of money on children’s clothing. They play in their clothes. They poop in their clothes. And sooner rather than later, they grow out of their clothes.

But apparently some people do not feel this way. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released an alert this afternoon about pajamas that don’t meet federal standards.

I’ve highlighted the part I find the most ridiculous.
