Checkout line

I have heard parents complain about inappropriate magazine covers at the grocery store checkout stands, but I never thought much about them. A recent cover showed a celebrity mom wearing a bikini and holding her baby, who was just in a diaper, with a headline about her post-baby diet and exercise plan. I saw the picture and thought she must've had surgery. Samuel saw the picture and said, "Look Mom, that mom and baby are both naked." I didn't want him to think checkstands showed nude pictures, so I replied, "Well no, she's wearing a swimming suit and the baby's in a diaper." He looked again and said matter-of-factly, "No. They're naked." Perhaps I should be a bit more concerned.
