Parent here.
I assume you they have goals.
Are they your goals? No. But they are goals.
Those keys on the counter? That dog food bowl? That magnet on the fridge? The poison under the sink? All goals
By that logic, I also do not need pockets.
For muddy rocks, cool bugs, weird grass that makes you itchy, neat mushrooms, this weird fuzzy thing, etc.
For candies and cool rocks
Clearly for rocks and acorns…
For rocks.
They definitely have goals. Not long term ones, but “sneak cool rocks home” is a goal.
Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.
Its to encourage having babies.
Need pockets? Use your baby’s pockets!
They get them hooked on pockets when they’re young, then magically take them away for “professionalism” and “dress code”
A couple of years off the pockets and they’ll be back, but this time the only way you’re getting pockets is with a baby or one of those giant purses with chihuahua.
My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.
they’re for storing cool rocks, obviously, and it’s adults who are the fools for abandoning this wisdom
Rocks, snails, sand, bottle caps, so many possibilities!
So much sand. So very much
Tater tots
Multiple? Look at Mr fancy pockets here
Cargo diapers

imagine this pitcher of iced tea is really a gallon of your feces
As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.
It’s to hold lizards and acorn caps.
For acorns, pebbles and trash that seemed useful at the moment?
Former baby here. Obviously for random things they find on the ground
As a parent, you can shove stuff in their pockets. It’s convenient storage that stays with the baby and usually they won’t mess with it overly much.
Like your drug contraband. If the cops find it what are they going to do? Arrest a baby?
“It’s coming right for us!”
