Social media users have issued a collective plea for parents to explain the need to clarify what their ugly children wear when they go to school, it has been confirmed.
Facebook user and former child, Nathan Bobson, 29, said: “I had heard there are these uniform things the kids have to wear, which sounds archaic. While I’m glad I know what they are for the millionth time, can you just stop showing me now, thanks?”
“Are they only selecting the ugly ones for the photos or something?”
Social scientist and mentally balanced human, Ray Dawson, explained the rationale behind the craze. He said: “Studies have shown there’s something inherently ugly about a child in their uniform stood next to a front door, but what people might not know is that posting it on social media also makes you a terrible parent.”
“That’s why they’re so hard to look at.”
“Were advising people not to look directly at them as you can damage your eyesight. It’s kind of like when an eclipse happens but instead the damage is done, you know, to your soul?”
Bemused twitter adult, Becky Dinting, 26, commented: “I don’t get it. Is it because everyone stops being so cute when they grow up? They’re all posted with comments about “growing up so fast” – some of them even show you photos of what they looked like this time last year, so you can see the progress their child has made in becoming so …ugly.”
“It might be some weird right of passage you go through as a parent, where eventually you accept what everyone already else sees.”
“Maybe they’ll even stop celebrating their “graduation” from primary school now as well?”
“You live in hope.”
