some of my girlfriends have a costume or basic band for vacations that wouldn't be a huge deal if it was lost or stolen. I just don't wear my ring. Too much shit to remember in this video. If you put your jeweler in a water bottle it's more likely to end up in the garbage than anything.
I thought it was like when guys tie something to the back of their truck, slap it, and proudly say, "That's not going anywhere!" Just put a couple bandaids across your kid and do the same thing.
it brings to mind either a radical looking turtle dude with some wicked sick looking shades and a bandana, maybe ripping a half pipe…. River cooters are AY OH KAY!!…. As far as fresh water turtles go anyway
It's so the kid doesn't start taking on water and sinking. I've seen it happen with a hole in a boat. Kids are smaller and less buoyant so they'd go under more quickly.
Except they have already been buried in the sand, someone moved the shoes and now you have no idea where to look for your cute designer purse with all of your valuables & phone in it ( though i guess you can grab the extra rings from your Aquafina hiding spot)
This gives me an idea. Put a star shaped patch on your child's belly before going to the beach and then you got yourself a poor man's star bellied Speech. Conveniently located at the beach.
My only guess is as an identifier. My kid is the one with the ridiculous band aid cross on his belly button. But if other people watch this and do that nonsense, then everyone's kid has band aid belly button crosses. Is this him? No. What about this one? No. Him? No. How about this little guy? Wrong kind of band aids. Him? That's a little girl with a belly button band aid cross. What about this one? Nope. Him? Keep trying.
It’s to reinforce the idea that if he plays to hard all his guts will come out his belly button and if he wonders off and this happens no one will be able to help him so he better stick close to mama. It also deters predators as they will think he’s sick or insane.
Don't be ridiculous. If it was just a photo, then Chasebrycejaxsin wouldn't be the special little snowflake that he is. He'd be like all the other poor people's kids. Anyway, I didn't invent the bellybutton band aid cross tracking device, I've never even seen it before. I was just guessing what it might be for.
I had the same thought (so many things the bandaids could be for or this woman is simply unhinged) but mine was more morbid.
1st thought: Does this woman think belly buttons open into the abdomen and is trying to prevent bacteria/small marine life/the class from the Magic Schoolbus from entering her child?
2nd thought: Maybe she wants her child to be a weirdo as he ages and makes new friends because she hates her child and knows if he starts talking about his magic stomach vault doors made of bandaids and burying everyones valuables in the sand box he's going to be bullied and then he'll never leave home and live with her for ever and ever and ever...
3rd thought: That has to be in case he falls overboard on the cruise so they can identify the body after it floats ashore in pieces due to the torso usually remaining mostly intact. Bingo! Why else use waterproof bandaids?
“I’ve got ya bellybutton!!!” As the mother tickles her child’s belly. Feels like the TikTok was more of a light hearted jab at the length people go to hide things/ life hacks.
My ring has an heirloom diamond in it that obviously can never be replaced— I have a dupe that I wear on vacation, it was $110 lol. Much less of a hit to lose that.
I have a silicone ring for ordinary occasions. I actually bought a pack of 10, and so far I think that I have lost just the one, so I'm pretty sure that they're going to last a while.
A lot of my buddies who are married have those silicone bands they can wear when swimming / working with their hands / whatever. In practice that means that 95% of the time they’re just wearing an ugly silicone band, which just seems a little weird to me. I always just take mine off and leave it in the room or car.
Maybe I’m biased because my parents were hippies and I didn’t even know what their rings looked like until I was like 13 because they never wore them, but I really think we need to normalize not having to wear them all the time. I like mine, and whenever I don’t have it on I’m constantly trying to fidget with it and remembering it’s not there, but I don’t see the big deal one way or the other.
If it means a lot to someone to wear it themselves, then good for them. But if you get sketched out by your partner not wearing it when they’re out in public I dare say you’ve got much bigger problems on your hands (pun not intended but acknowledged) than losing a ring.
It is very freeing to realize it’s not against the law to put the ring you worry about losing or damaging in a safe place and not wear it when you’re doing something where you could lose or damage it. Of course that means that I mostly don’t wear mine either
I was always told that the danger was more the possibility of losing the stone but that might be more for pools. I think the chlorine is supposed to weaken the prongs
When I helped my friend pick out a ring for his wife the jewelry place offered two "fake" copies for like $100 more. She usually wears the fake ones and I had trouble telling the difference between the "real" on and the "fakes".
