Beach bum

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the "beach bum."

For those who don't know, I recently took a trip down to Tampa Bay-St. Petersburg, FL for a little R&R with my sister. I'd mentioned to the other TAR bloggers that I was confident my time on the oh-so public beach would yield some quality photos for our little gallery here....but I was not prepared for what you see to the left.

This is one of those sad and peculiar That-Ain't-Right moments where the actual TAR offense is committed against an innocent, without knowledge or consent. This mama strolled down the coast with her toddler flying Superman-style under her arm, bare booty to the world. As with any good TAR sighting, the question must always be "why?" Perhaps this family could not afford a tiny swimsuit...and then they ran out of diapers too. Or maybe she's preparing for a role as Lady Godiva in a pint-sized play. Or was it the tan line issue? We may never know.

No matter the cause, bless this child's heart whose mother opted to clad her in nothing more than some SPF 30 (I'm guessing it was Water Babies).
