Mom horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages in daughter's dress
Mom Savannah posted on TikTok after she looked more closely at her child's dress, decorated with bunnies, jelly beans, chickens, and messages in tiny font.
'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she explained in the clip that now has over 23 million views.
She was then appalled by what she saw. One of the shocking lines was: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?'
Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!'

'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' said another message, as a different one read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips.'
The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'.

'The world is so perverted now,' said another.
However, a few suggested it could have been an innocent mistake.
One social media user wrote: 'aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.'

After some internet digging, commenters found out the dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co.

In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on its website.
It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed.
'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions against the vendor.
'For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.'
The brand also said they were in contact with Savannah.

Lele & Co.
'Despite the negative and hateful messages, they will not diminish the passion that founded this company. Lele & Co. is facing slander based on unfounded claims. I appreciate everyone's concerns that brought this matter to my attention and allow me the opportunity to address and respond in a respectful manner,' the statement concluded.
News.com.au has reached out to Savannah and Lele & Co.
Another clothing item criticised
It's not the first time children's clothing has gone viral for seemingly inappropriate content.
Last December, a Kmart $8 kids' Christmas T-shirt was criticized, dividing parents.
6 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' said another message, as a different one read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips.'

The shirt had 'kinda naughty' printed on it, with 'naughty' in sequins.
'I'm sorry, but what is this and why is it in the kids section?' one Aussie mum said on TikTok.
However, some told her it 'Wasn't that deep' and 'Everyone just thinks of things the wrong way these days'.
'There's a lot of hills to die on in relation to kids fashion. This isn't one,' another said.

Mom checks on her toddler and Saint Bernard—and can't believe what she finds
Every mom knows that if their toddler is quiet, something is going on. For one little girl named Lavender, that 'something' was turning her giant Saint Bernard into the ultimate play set. In a TikTok posted by @thanosthesaint, which has already racked up nearly 7 million views, Thanos the Saint Bernard is stretched out on the floor, sound asleep, one back leg pointing straight up in the air. Lavender takes full advantage of the perfect setup: she slides her stacking rings onto his paw like it's the world's most patient toy stand. She carefully stacks and un-stacks them, experimenting with different color orders while her furry 'assistant' stays perfectly still. Even with cartoons playing in the background, Lavender stays laser-focused on her DIY game—and Thanos doesn't move a muscle. The world's most patient playmate At one point, Thanos stirs awake, only to flop back over and resume his nap, giving Lavender even more opportunities to perfect her stacking. Eventually, the video ends with Lavender cuddled up between Thanos and his fellow Saint Bernard, Dunder, proving just how much these dogs adore their tiny human. And as a mom of an 18-month-old and a dog, I'll be honest: my house doesn't always look like this. Sometimes the toddler pulls ears, sometimes the dog steals snacks—and more often than not, I'm playing referee. That's why seeing a moment like this, where a child and a pet fall into an unspoken rhythm of patience and play, feels so magical. It's the kind of quiet harmony every mom hopes for, even if just for a few minutes. Related: Mom says no to another dog—until a senior rescue 'chooses' her teen The comments were just as good as the video Parents and dog lovers alike couldn't get over both Lavender's determination and Thanos' gentle spirit. @Hollymidfield said: 'The fact that she figured out that the rings fit on the dog's leg amazes me.' @Rainonwater: 'He's like: she's quiet, let her do it.' @breezygemini78: 'The dog is giving dad vibes, do whatever, just don't cry.' And honestly, same. Related: You won't believe what this 14-year-old dog did when she heard a crying baby Why moments like this mean so much to parents For moms, seeing a toddler completely absorbed in play—especially quiet, independent play—feels like striking gold. Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that unstructured playtime builds focus, problem-solving skills, and creativity in young kids. It's also a reminder that sometimes the simplest 'toys' are the ones that spark the most joy (and give us a few precious minutes to sip our coffee). Lavender may think she just found a fun way to play with her stacking rings, but what she really showed all of us is the power of imagination and the incredible patience of a family dog.

Intense backlash to Matt Rife ad left makeup company ‘very surprised,' brand executive says
One executive for makeup brand e.l.f. is trying to turn down the social media temperature after her company's latest ad sparked outrage among users for starring stand-up comic Matt Rife. In an interview with the outlet 'Business of Fashion' (BOF), the beauty brand's chief marketing officer, Kory Marchisotto, spoke about what went wrong with its ad with Rife, explaining that causing outrage was never their intention. 'Obviously, we're very surprised,' she said. 'There is a big gap between our intention and how this missed the mark for some people… We always aim to deliver positivity, and this one didn't.' 'So we find ourselves in a position where, quite honestly, that doesn't feel good for us,' Marchisotto added. The cosmetics brand published the ad on major social media platforms last week. The commercial featured Rife and drag queen Heidi N Closet as ' & Schmarnes,' a spoof lawyer duo in a legal commercial fighting for consumers' rights to inexpensive cosmetic products. 4 Marchisotto said that e.l.f cosmetics was 'very surprised' from the backlash they have received. @elfcosmetics/Instagram However, the clip took major heat from online users, including several major beauty and fashion influencers, who were offended that e.l.f. would employ Rife after he joked about domestic abuse during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' In the special, the comic told the story of when he and his friend noticed a waitress with a black eye while they were eating at a restaurant in Baltimore. He explained that the two of them questioned why the restaurant owners wouldn't have the employee work in the kitchen to avoid customers asking questions. 'Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have a black eye,' Rife joked. 4 The backlash of Rife in the ad is from his previous jokes about domestic abuse. @elfcosmetics/Instagram When people reacted poorly to the joke at the time, Rife doubled down, putting out a statement that directed social media users to a link offering an 'apology' if they had ever been offended by a joke he told. The link brought users to a website where they could purchase special-needs helmets. In response to e.l.f.'s new ad last week, 'Nikkietutorials,' a cosmetics influencer with almost 9 million followers on TikTok, commented, 'aaaaaaandddd you lost me… Matt Rife out of ALL people? so disappointed.' Others trashed the video in its comment sections, too. Maddy Lucy Dann, a TikTok user with 1.4 million followers, wrote, 'In Matt Rife's Netflix stand-up special Natural Selection he opened with a domestic violence joke, implying a woman wouldn't have a black eye if she could cook.' 4 Rife made the controversial jokes during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' @elfcosmetics/Instagram The beauty brand responded to the backlash, putting out a statement last Wednesday acknowledging that working with Rife was a mistake. 'You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you. This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f community,' e.l.f. stated. 4 Marchisotto said they went with Rife because 80% of his TikTok audience is female. @elfcosmetics/Instagram During her interview with BOF, Marchisotto explained why e.l.f. went with Rife for the ad campaign. She noted how 80% of Rife's TikTok audience is female, with 75% under the age of 34 – 'right in the sweet spot' of the makeup brand's target audience.

Check out more newsletters The executive added that at the time e.l.f. built its campaign around Rife, he was getting 80% positive engagement from his audience, so the brand thought it was a safe bet. 'We [are] very much known for operating in real time, that's what it means to be in the cultural zeitgeist. So we're not looking in the rearview mirror when we're operating the real-time marketing machine,' she said. Rife has yet to reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Why Kids Are Telling Each Other to 'Start Digging in Your Butt Twin' — and Laughing About It
It sounds weird (because it is), but 'SDIYBT' is the latest slang making the rounds with kids—and thankfully, it's not as gross as it seems. Sometimes it feels like today's kids are in a world of their own, with their own ways of thinking, being, and talking. They create their own entertainment, their own celebrities, and—in a way—their own reality. At least, that's what I think after finding out that kids are now telling each other to "SDIYBT." The acronym stands for "start digging in your butt twin" and (understandably) has left many adults confused. The term "SDIYBT" originated from an edit a TikTok user made of a Spongebob Squarepants episode and has since taken off, with tweens and teens making edits of other Spongebob Squarepants clips featuring the acronym. Here's what "start digging in your butt twin" really means, how kids are using it, and whether parents should be concerned. 'SDIYBT' Meaning So what does 'SDIYBT' actually mean, besides "start digging in your butt twin?" Some viral examples show kids using the term to reference a friend that is losing focus. One video with over 1 million views features a teen lip syncing to the popular "SDIYBT" audio with text overlay that reads "Trying to lock in with the boys on a game after a loss." It can also be used to reference someone who has "brain rot" which is an online term that references someone who is perpetually online and adopts all the popular lingo. The stereotype here is that the person who uses "SDIYBT" is sort of mindless. However, most of the time, "SDIYBT" is just another phrase used nonsensically. Ultimately, kids who say it just want to signal a shared culture and say something their friends find funny. Those who have been following along with teen slang trends this year might notice that a lot of terms Gen Alpha/ Gen Z use are nonsensical. Take the popular term "six seven" for instance, which kids have yelled all spring and summer this year—to the dismay of many teachers. Though "SYBIT" and "six seven" have distinct origins that might pass as meaning, these phrases don't actually hold much weight conversationally and are instead used to signal an inside joke among kids. Those who are caught up with the latest memes on social platforms will know what the acronym stands for and laugh when they hear it, and those who aren't (adults or otherwise) will be lost in the mix. So, kids aren't really expecting adults or other kids to start picking at their rear end when they say "SYBIT"—instead they're expecting kids to laugh at the silly meaning behind the acronym, the many memes that come to mind that originated from its usage, and the fact that some adults have no idea what's going on. How Kids Are Using 'SDIYBT' The term 'SDIYBT' may have originated on Spongebob Squarepants, but it has taken a life of its own through social media platforms like TikTok. It was used in several video compilations of Spongebob episodes, where kids will dub over a character's line with "start digging in your butt twin." Kids also began singing it over popular songs like Paramore's "All I Wanted Was You." There are dozens of videos on TikTok that show teens and tweens belting out "start digging your butt twin" during the moment when Paramore's lead singer emotionally shouts "all I wanted was you." So far, I've seen covers of "Stand by Me" and "Runaway," with kids singing "start digging in your butt twin" in harmony with the instrumentals. There's also videos of teens walking up to other teens saying "start digging in your butt twin" and recording their reactions. How Did "SDIYBT" Become Popular? One creator posted a video edit of a scene from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Welcome to the Chum Bucket." In the clip, Plankton asks a robot he created after Spongebob to "make him a Krabby Patty." The robot responds with "start digging in your butt twin." The video amassed over 350,000 views in two weeks and TikTokers began creating their own videos using the audio from the original, according to KnowYourMeme. Harmful or Harmless? This isn't the first time kids have repurposed old media to create new slang terms. A few months ago, "rhymes with Grug" was popularized from the 2013 film The Croods. However, teen and tween language moves fast and some parents might be wondering if it's all just in silly fun or if there's something they should be paying attention to. Ultimately, the "start digging in your butt twin" meme is pretty harmless. For most tweens, it's a funny, cheeky way to address friends or immediately gain attention from a group of their peers. Even though it sounds wildly inappropriate, that's kind of part of the appeal. And most younger kids likely don't even fully grasp why it can be seen as inappropriate and just think it's funny to say the word "butt." However, if your child is actively online and interacting with "SDIYBT" memes, you should pay attention. I came across a few videos that veer into adults-only territory, including one that depicted an emoji bending over and showing their (very realistic) bare bottom. And some folks may not understand that it's just a silly acronym and could take offense when children say "start digging in your butt twin" to them. So if you hear your child using the term, it's worth asking them where they heard it and how they use it to gain more insight. Just remember that teen slang moves fast, and by the time they know that you know what it means, it'll already be over. Read the original article on Parents Solve the daily Crossword
