more from Craigslist....

This ad selling a set of toddler bedding seems innocent enough.

At first glance the reader might assume it was placed because a child grew out of his/her toddler bed, and into a "big kid" bed. It's not until you read the actual text of the ad that the truth becomes clearer. The truth being that some misguided soul inadvertently crafted bedding & curtains out of fabric that should have been labeled as "counter-indicated for peaceful sleep."

I'm talking about the part that says, "The print on the fabric is of clowns/jesters/ferries riding on horses/other animal or unicycles made of fruit... very unique!"

Whaaa??

The clowns/jesters/ferries would be bad enough, but to have them riding on "horses/other animal or unicycles made of fruit," goes way too far into the realm of nightmare fodder. Somehow I doubt the words "very unique" quite sum up the horror of the images described.

My guess is that no one, and certainly no child, was EVER able to get a full night's sleep anywhere near this bedding set.

That said, it's not a bad price....
