We’d like to think that this display is the work of a Big Lots employee with a wicked sense of humor. “Celebrate the woman who gave you life,” it seems to say, “by making sure she doesn’t create any more of it.”

Or it could be that the sign was really intended to go with the other pricey, easily-stolen small items in the locked display case.

Our version is funnier.

Thanks to Anthony, who send this photo to us using the Consumerist Tipster app. (Also on Android.)
