    Looks like a sign for the sign in/out sheet at a daycare. Doesn’t look like so much of a fail to me.

    It should probably read “Help yourselves to the pages of your ‘carebears’”.

      Sorry, the above comment is from me, a different Aaron than the first one.

    WTFAIL means “where’s the fail?”

    I don’t see a GRAMMAR problem… I mean, it’s sort of confusing out of context, but I’m guessing some sort of little “carebear” booklet, and each kid has a page they made, something like that.

    No fail, unless I’m missing it.

    Well, to be persnickety, and I am, there should be a comma after Moms and Dads and there should be a period inside the quotation marks of carebear.

      “Moms and Dads” is a title to alert the parents to read here, so no comma comes after it. This is a sign, not a sentence so no period is necessary at the end.

    Strictly speaking, addressed to ‘Moms and Dads’ plural, it should then follow that they help “yourselves” not “yourself”. But yes, as Steven says the punctuation is missing.

      Yep – you’ve got to have that pronoun agreement there.
      Also, should Care Bears be capitalized too?

    I’m the submitter for this one. This sign was hanging on the customer service desk at Wal-Mart. The fail is really the context of where it was seen plus the grammatical errors. I saw nothing to do with carebears anywhere.

    The punctuation after “moms and dads” should be a colon, not a comma.

      Michelle, commas are acceptable for setting off a direct address at the beginning of a sentence :)
