Do not remove under penalty of law: Shoddy Goods 114
0I happened to have dressed up as escaped convict Mickey for Halloween this year. Maybe I’ll dig up a photo and share it in the chat this week. I’m not sure I ever worried about going to jail for this one but we definitely had playground rumors that if you got pulled over 3 times, for any reason, you were going to jail. I remember being terrified the second time my mom got pulled over for speeding. Do you remember any myths about getting arrested or going to jail as a kid? Any warnings you were terrified you’d accidentally not follow? Let’s talk about 'em in this week’s Shoddy Goods Chat.

This Shoddy Goods newsletter was hilarious. I was always afraid of those mattress labels.
As a pre-teen I had a small, decorative pillow that I loved. Eventually the tag fell off and I was terrified that I would be arrested. Not as terrified as the time years before that when I found a robin’s egg on the ground, picked it up, and accidentally dropped it. I hid in my closet for hours, convinced that the mother bird was going to peck me to death for breaking her egg.
