Babysitter Had To Use An American Flag Towel As A Diaper And Wonders If She's a Bad Person Now

A lot of people hold value in the American flag as a symbol of the United States. Sometimes, this flag is placed on items such as towels, plates, napkins, shirts, and many other things.

In a pinch, you might find yourself grabbing the closest item to use for something, and that might be an American flag towel. I mean, it is a towel, right?

This person was in a pinch when they were watching their nephew, and the mom forgot to pack diapers, so like any reasonable person, they found a solution.

However, their brother wasn’t exactly happy about the fact that an American flag towel was used as a diaper for this child. There may be conflicting opinions on this matter depending on your views.

The American flag is, of course, a symbol that is highly revered and protected in American culture, but it’s also placed on various items, including towels that are usually used to clean up messes.
