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.

:D I'll order every t-shirt! Can I bring my own oneliner though?
ReplyDeleteScholeksters, scholeksters.
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!
ReplyDeleteAt my house:
ReplyDelete"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."
Forgot to mention that I went and looked at your sunshine. I didn't see any snow. Or rain, either. Could spring have arrived?
ReplyDeleteA great idea - love them all - here are a couple from my house:
ReplyDelete"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?"
I going to start saying your line to my older son when he comes down in his pjs in the morning!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'll take one of each. It will be a huge hit! Run with the idea!
ReplyDeletelet me know when you launch the website!
ReplyDeletehow about "I know it's in front of my face, I just can't find it"
I wish someone would make a t-shirt of one of my favorite lines from The Incredibles:
ReplyDelete"HONEY? Where's my supersuit?"
I hear congratulations are in order - VERY WELL deserved, my friend. OutSTANDing!

I can't wait to see those T-shirts. How about "Who said so?"
ReplyDeleteBtw, dropping by from Chelle's blog.
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.
ReplyDeleteVery funny!
I think you're on to something here...I'd take 3 "I didn't do it" shirts.
ReplyDeleteOh. Mygosh. The last one. Killed. Me. HAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteHow about this one which is popular amongst all teenagers with siblings: "Why me?"
