Parents: A Poem

The only way I can make sense of this sign is to interpret it as some sort of poem. Therefore, I give you my literary analysis:

The poem is called, "PARENTS," and it examines the delicate balance between freedom and safety. "Childrens" must be a stylized reference to the title, illuminating the fluidity between youth and adulthood. The quotation marks call to mind the irony of our so-called "words" in attempting to define such elusive concepts.

This sign is not an editor's nightmare after all. It is a work of art. Bravo!

You're absolutely right. "In Shopping Carts" is such an elusive concept. Haha, this cracks me up!
