It's Just A T-Shirt
I've been noticing these t-shirts... You know, the ones with sarcastic, rude, and self-ridiculing sayings on them that all the kids are wearing?
Most of these shirts are funny and harmless, but some of them are downright mean.
What I'd really like to see is a line of t-shirts for bad parents. With sayings like:

- I ignore my kids, and so should you.
Build more jails! My kids are almost adults.
It isn't easy being a terrible parent. Oh, wait... Yes it is.
Homework, shmomework! Go watch TV!
I'm teaching my kids real world skills - shoplifting and streetwalking.
My kids make mistakes because they were mistakes.
Career, golf game, porn, my family... I have my priorities straight!
I have no idea what my children are doing right now.

Twinkies and Pepsi - It's what's for dinner!
I spent my son's college money on a trip to Europe with my girlfriend.
My kids may be stupid and ugly, but they are nice tax breaks.
Children make the best drinking buddies!
"Shut up!" means "I love you."

Do not insult, degrade or humiliate my children! That's my job.

Uh oh. My kids have pajamas with the bunny on it. But the saying with the bunny isn't bad. There are a lot of tshirts with similar sayings out there, and I don't have a problem with some of them, because I think the kids realize it's just a tshirt. I don't think a shirt saying necessarily translates to future serial killer or bad girl behavior either. Sort of like judging a book by its cover.
Uh-oh,
See, this is what happens when I try to be funny. It never works. I don't even know why I try... Should leave that up to The Zero Boss and Defective Yeti, because nobody ever thinks I'm funny or clever. Somebody once called me bland, and I thought, "How dare they call me bland" but then I started thinking that bland isn't so bad... Bland doesn't lead to controversy and misunderstandings, or people reading too much into a post that was supposed to be humorous and/or slightly sarcastic. See, the whole post was supposed to be like one big t-shirt with a funny saying on it. But maybe most people won't get that and they'll think I'm being some dead-serious, judgemental puritan. Oh well, back to being bland for me!
Okay, I edited myself... Maybe it's funnier now. Or maybe not. What do I know?
LOL, better. Sometimes, if a reader isn't expecting that sort of in your face, not-sure-if-this-is-meant-to-be-funny post, it's taken as it's written. Sorry if I did that. Don't give up on humor...humor keeps people from crying.
I thought it was funny, but I only saw the edited version apparently.
Your t-shirt line reminded me that I created a cafe-press store (that I keep meaing to work on) called #2 dad. Its all about admitting that as a father you have flaws. Anyway, the first design I threw up on the site (that isn't that great and I swear I'm going to redo it) says "Worlds Second Greatest Dad" and has an illustration of a kids running off while the dad is drunk.
Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't be admitting this...
Do you realize what a killing you could make selling shirts with those slogans? Seriously, people would buy them.
I agree with Dawn most of them were really funny. Hurry remove your post before someone steals them!
Don't worry Phil, no one gets my humor, either.
I want to get one with someone doing the "L on the forehead" sign and have a caption:
"That's "love" in Polish"
I got it Phil! I did! Great post!
Phil, that was frickin' hilarious! Seriously, think about marketing those shirts! We'd all wear one at the daddy blogger convention!
Piss funny mate.......piss funny.
(that means really good in Australian!!!)
my wife has a couple pairs of Happy Bunny socks that say "I hate you so much" that she wears when she has a meeting with someone she doesn't like.

You'd make a ton of cash selling those shirts!
