Bottoms Up

Static of police scanner.

Cop: There’s suspicious activity in Bucktown.

Sergeant: A streaker at Flash Taco?

Cop: No. People are carrying boxes into the kids’ shop Psycho Baby. There are pictures of half-naked babies on ’em, Sarge. This looks like a job for special ops.

Sergeant: Take it easy, Officer Quickdraw. It’s a diaper drive. You drop off boxes of diapers and the store donates them to Association House.

Cop: The nonprofit that helps disadvantaged families?

Sergeant: Yep. And get this — for every box you give, Psycho Baby takes 10 percent off your purchase. Or you can simply donate money online toward the purchase of diapers.

Cop: Phew. It’s all for a great cause.

Sergeant: Yes. Be sure to leak the news.


Psycho Baby, 1630 North Damen Avenue, at North Avenue, Bucktown (773-772-2815). Donations taken in-store through June 30. To donate money online, go to psychobabyonline.com/diaper-drive.
