Apply Within

As I am writing this I am staring straight on at my eldest son, who, perched in front of me, hand outstretched in hopes of some money sliding across his palm, is wearing a t-shirt with a single sentence written across the chest.

I didn't do it.

Kind of the perfect sentiment for this kid, I'd say. It may fall just short of Do I have to? if you were actually looking for the mantra most repeated.

I am suddenly thinking I should take up t-shirt writing and design. And start a screen printing business.

I could start simply with just the most oft spoken phrases around this house. Things like:

'We gotta get us a cool car!' (Andrew)
'Okay, okay, hang on a sec.' (Emma)
'Is this a paid job?' (Ian)
'I'll be there directly' (Don)
and 'Seriously, dude, where are your pants?' (that's me)

I'm thinking there just might be something to this.

  1. :D I'll order every t-shirt! Can I bring my own oneliner though?

  2. My oldest son has a shirt that says "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Fits him perfectly; he's wearing it today, as a matter of fact! LOL!

  3. At my house:

    "I know, I know!"

    "I have NO idea."

    "That's not what I said."

    "I think this pair is good for another day."

    "Just five more minutes and then I promise to get up."

  4. Forgot to mention that I went and looked at your sunshine. I didn't see any snow. Or rain, either. Could spring have arrived?

  5. A great idea - love them all - here are a couple from my house:

    "I am so sorry - I totally forgot!"

    "Last song, I promise" (that would be me - playing Guitar Hero)

    "Mommy - I beat Raining Blood" (that would be DD on Guitar Hero)

    "Where is my phone?"

    And my personal favorite
    "Do I have to?"

  9. I wish someone would make a t-shirt of one of my favorite lines from The Incredibles:

    "HONEY? Where's my supersuit?"

  12. I love those! Could I also put an order in for, "No, I didn't!" (for my kids) and, "How many days have you worn those underwear?" for me.

    Very funny!
