Oooh, glad you didn't clock the little one with it. I have a 15 month old running round here and he knocks his head enough without my help.
About the only pocket that ever has a REO in it for me is a jacket. It tends to just be in my hand or sitting next to my drink.
In the summer I carry a little man bag around with me. Cant get an iPhone, keys and REO in shorts pockets.
