1. Whoever wears things like that should be burned alive.
They're threatening the public's safety and mental well-being.

3. the women that lives next to me wears those, she's not a teacher (thank gawd).
anyhow she sports one of those with her mom jeans. She's around mid 40's but she dresses like she's much older. She also had a yes on prop hate so technically she's dead to me, sure if her house was on fire i'd call the 911, no reason for her kids to suffer.

16. I don't think they are Quacker Factory.
The labels don't look like QF labels and I don't recognize those two designs. QF has kind of toned down their patterns the past couple of years. You can probably tell that I've been watching QVC for years! LOL

6. Admit it. You secretely want one.
You're just looking for some hints as to where to shop without coming right out and asking.

You ain't foolin' me.

12. Ditto.

I think she finds dressing up for holidays at least as much fun as the kids do.

Doesn't bother me as long as I don't have to be seen in public with her. :evilgrin:

13. I think those were stolen off the back of a fourth grade teacher in my kids' school.
I've always wanted to have a "Bad Holiday Sweater Party" (wait, that's redundant ... there is no such thing as a "good" one of these butt-ugly travesties).

15. Awww... c'mon! Lighten up!
Those sweaters are gawdy, but colorful and just right for kindergarten teachers!

I must have 20 different Christmas sweaters (although not as ornate as those). I got them different places, including QVC and various department stores. The two you show don't seem to be from Quacker Factory, though.

The kids really do notice what we wear, especially jewelry for some reason! :)

17. Obtained from their grandmothers
Who have friends who spend too much time at yard sales and flea markets. Or, at least that's where I get all of my appliqued sweaters.
