T-Shirts and Kids
I have this one small childish thing about me. Okay, I have several, but I am only talking about this one today.
I absolutely love trashy t-shirts. By trashy, I mean the ones with the really silly sayings on them. The more vulgar, the funnier I find them. While I would never actually wear the more raunchy t-shirts, I still find myself laughing like a little girl the first time she sees a boys penis.
Yesterday afternoon Whitney and I hit the mall to purchase Travis (her boyfriend) his birthday gift. For reasons I will never understand, he wanted a speedo. I would like to think it is because they are starting swim season in a few weeks, but I am probably very wrong.
So, we found the suit (on sale for this ridiculously low price) and they even had it in their school colors. Since I paid less than half of the purchase price, we decided to head over and splurge on one of the funnier gift bags you can find at Spencers. We found a particularly funny one (in line with the raunchy t-shirts I find so amusing) and began to look around the store.
It was there that I found them. Those little onesies and t-shirts geared for the bad ass baby and toddler's running around this world. There was one for Emily that said "If you think I am a B*tch, you should meet my mommy". Horrible I tell you and yet I laughed myself silly. The one that almost did me in though was one in Caleb's size. Now, you would have to know my sweet little boy to understand that this shirt totally fits his personality. It simply said; "No, YOU F*cking calm down." While my sweet angel has never dropped the "f" bomb, I could totally see this in my head.
I of course did not purchase the shirt. No matter how funny I find them in the stores, there is no way I would put a shirt like that on any of my children. I am assuming due to the mass production of such shirts though that there must be a market for them.
My question to you is; would you allow your child to wear such a shirt? Do you think I am nuts because I find them funny? Do I need therapy? (Okay, don't answer those last two questions, I think we all know I am clearly nuts and desperately need therapy.)
I admit it, I like potty humor. Hello, my name is Ange and I laugh at inappropriate t-shirts for children.
Seriously, have you ever actually seen a child wearing these shirts and what are your thoughts if you did?

lol i would so get that shirt- i see nothing wrong with that so long as they aren't racist :)
I think they are hilarious! I would definitely laugh out loud if I ever saw one on a kid. But would I put one on my kid, depends on how vulgar it is.
my daughter has a onesie that says "I haven't been her long and I already know my family is f***ed up", i don't even remember where it came from but she wears it to bed, she can't read. . and I don't have any other children around to read it. . anddd I'd NEVER take her out in public wearing it, but for bed I don't mind.
i think they're funny, but i would never put on on my son.
someone got him a bib that says "show me the titties" haha
he has a shirt that says "lock up your daughters" and "potty like a rock star" haha
@viarah@xanga - That is not one I have seen, but it is hilarious! Now I want one.
@KimisBarbie@xanga - I love the "lock up your daughter's one" I really wanted to get the one that said "future trophy wife" for my daughter, but it was too small. I need help...lol.
I don't think I would want my children to wear them but you are welcome to do it.
I would have got the shirt for my son.
Some I do think are too raunchy for my taste and although I like some of them, I wouldn't let my child wear all of them. I did, however, buy my son a black onsie from Spencer's that said, "I love my daddy even though he's an asshole" and he did wear it, even in public. I thought it was cute, and honestly, it's true. lol.
@svys_and_stuff@xanga - LOL, that one is cute.
I think t-shirts with snappy sayings are tacky on anyone, no matter how old/young they are. But that's just my opinion,.

i saw a little boy at the zoo with a onesie that said "i don't know who my daddy is."
hahhahAHAHahaha.
I totally get a kick out of them. We had one for my son that said "I only cry when ugly people hold me." ^_^ But there's definitely some where I'm thinking to myself, I can't believe someone would put this on their child! I guess it's one of my guilty pleasures too. Another one I like is the shirt saying "are you my daddy?"
Some of them I find pretty funny, but I'd never allow my child to wear the more raunchy ones. I'm trying to keep him from ever using the F-bomb, so that's not allowed in this house...
When he was born, the guitar player in my husband's band had two t-shirts made. One said "I'm K and I'm gonna rock this place", and the other one I think said "Future rock star." I also had one made for father's day that said "Pappa is a Rollin' Stone". LOL... Not true, but still funny!
Haha I have to admit that I am one of those people that laugh at those shirts !
We have a 5 and a half month old baby boy and I LOVE buying him clothes that sya funny / rude stuff
I have one that says:
" mmmm . . . . boobies " ; " iPood " ; " wipe my butt sucker " ( although he never wears that one )
I find it sooo funny !
I have seen some that say:
" I'm living proof my Mum's easy " ; " the condom broke " etc
The only thing stopping me from buying them , are the in - laws lol
They think it's rude . . .
I absolutly love them (:

I used to work at Spencer Gifts, they have sooo many onesies. I think they are hilarious, and I think people who get offended by them are just uptight. Kick back, calm down, laugh. It's just a joke. Yes some of them may have vulgar language, but your baby can't read that. I can't imagine any kind of harm coming from them. I would totally dress my baby in one.
P.S. Has anyone seen the Spencer's maternity shirts? Like "Calm down, it's not yours" or the picture of the ultrasound with the baby giving the finger? Or my favorite - "I'm fat because I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?" One of my coworkers was actually pregnant when I was working there, she wore the maternity shirts all the time. Good stuff :]
I can't believe that such a product exists, AND that people even buy them. No child should run around with swear words ( I know I'm fucking cute, talk shit get hit ) , put down towards their mother or father, and even references to how big the little boys penis is on their clothing. It just shows that the parents are immature and shouldn't have had the child in the first place. Don't even get me started with the maternity shirts. "I love my baby, even though the daddy is an asshole"? Seriously? You didn't love the guy, or you got drunk, or you were bored so you had unprotected sex and are now carrying the baby of a man you hate. Why would you want to broadcast that to the world?
I weep for the future...
I think I'd let my kid wear it...to bed. When there's nothing else clean. Or when I'm not in the mood for putting something else on them.
Just not out in public, I'm too terrified of judgment.
Yes, and they're amazingly funny, and yes I would and have put my children in them. These will not, however, be the t-shirts I show to my children when they ask to see the clothes from when they were little. These will be the "mommy stash" that I will go through when I've had a bad mother's day. *heaven forbid* and I will undoubtedly start laughing and remembering with fond nostalgia how adorable my baby looked and the amazingly shocked looks (or smiles) on the faces of the other people around me as they pass.
I bought my son the onsie that says "I love my Daddy, Even though he's an asshole" haha. I sent him over to his father's house wearing it. He didn't find it funny but his mother did lol.
