Roo: you bet YER ASS you do. But recall that this is Europe, and over here ‘ass’ refers to something different than what you’re probably thinking of. That said, do note the little patch above the silkscreened legend, with the action figure and the extra words, “YER ASS”. So I guess what I’m saying is, admire away.
Gwynne: remind me to show you mine, saying “Bite the wax tadpole”.
Simon: the lyrics are as follows:
Cat Party!
Babies and cats
Plannin’ parties to-
Gether!
Cat Party!
Babies havin’
Parties with
Cats!
(Sung to the tune of whatever, over and over and over and over)
I just want to mention that I am SO glad someone made a “Don’t kick the baby” shirt because I can never remember whether or not you’re supposed to kick babies.
Mr. Sgazzetti,
Seems to me that if you open up a PO Box in town and post it on your site along with the appropriate sizes for Adam and the Jez, you may get an influx of alternative wear-ware from your avid readers.
It may turn into one of Jean Shepard’s stories involving a Dish Towel Pyramid Scheme. A trickle of shirts may soon result in a torrent.
And, of course, we the donors would expect to see Adam or Jez photographed and presented on your blog in our tasteful-but-questionable t-shirts.
You have enough time on your hands to handle all this, right?
That’s not a bad idea, Darko. As it turns out, many of the items pictured were presents (or hand-me-downs, which is the best kind of present). And while we have plenty of clothes for both boys (those excellent hand-me-downs again), the problem is not a question of quantity but of pacing: the Jeż is growing so fast that he’s already stretching out the neckholes of stuff that lasted Adam into the second year. Before long he’ll be demanding the very shirt from Adam’s back. Then we’ll be soliciting not clothes from our readers, but financial aid in feeding him.
Elsa: I shudder to think what you’re thinking of. That’s what makes it different.
Jane: You should write yourself a memo. In Sharpie® on your forehead. Backwards.

Dang, are those European? I didn’t know Europe had the Engrish tees as well. Awesome.

These are all good reminders to refrain from getting that cool looking Chinese character tattoo. 8-}

I admire parents who clothe their young children in garments that say “ass” on them.

This was the soundtrack to last summer’s Spanish holiday.

Huh. So… what am I probably thinking of, and how is it different?

Re:”Then we’ll be soliciting not clothes from our readers, but financial aid in feeding him.”
It’s the goldfish thing.
Put a goldfish in a small bowl; it’ll grow to a smaller-than-the-bowl size. Transfer it to a larger bowl? It’ll grow some more.
So, to prevent the younger son from eventually snacking on the older one, it may be time to consider a smaller palace for the two princes.

I think what Darko is saying is put the “little” one in a small box until he turns 18 or so, then set him free.
