That's just, as you pointed out, WRONG! And who would buy the "I'm with stupid?" Really, I shudder to think who would actually purchase that.

How about very? Laura, I aspire to have kids as cool as yours. I just read the post about your daughter's perspective on middle school and about died. If ONLY I'd been as smart then as she is now. Middle school was my own personal purgatory. Slightly misogynistic, you think? How about very?

Daughter, 20: I want that one for when I get pregnant! Buy it and save it for me!! Daughter, 13: If she's wearing a maternity shirt and she's still a virgin, then everyone will think she's saying she's just fat. 20: Unless it was an immaculate conception!! 13: Nah. Been done. I love my kids. :-) .............................. That last one is a redo of the t-shirts that point to the person on your right. This time it's BABY saying s/he's with STUPID (mom). I didn't see it as misogynist so much as training the kid - while still in the WOMB - that you expect him/her to be disrespectful and rude to mom (and dad). So maybe I'm just being too Earnest here, but it bugs me. My two daughters killed themselves over that first one.
