There's a store called Booktopia in the mall portion* of my office building. It deals in kids' stuff: books, toys, clothing, et cetera. Having worked in a small high-end toy store at one time, I recognize a lot of the things they carry. It's boutique-oriented merchandise that seems unique when you first encounter it, but which you quickly realize is essentially ubiquitous outside of Toys R Us and Wal-Mart.
However, Booktopia does carry one product line with which I was previously unfamiliar. It's called Wry Baby. If you're the parent of someone in the toddler stage or younger, or know parents who are, I urge you to check them out. The particular item that first caught my eye was this toddler t-shirt emblazoned with the words "I Can't Read." I just about fell down laughing the first time I saw it.
The Wry Baby site has many other fine items displaying a similar dry wit, and a couple things which might not fly everywhere in these United States but should be big sellers in Connecticut and Vermont.
If you're looking to help a kid build an aptitude for snarkiness early in life, Wry Baby is worth a look.
* ::in my best Amy Poehler voice:: Yes, I work above a mall. Jealous?
