I Void Warranties

I don’t buy a lot of novelty t-shirts for my children. I’m not enamored with putting my kids in shirts that declare them as being brats or drama queens or even falsely labeling them as mommy or daddy’s little sweetheart and/or angel. So, when I do get a novelty shirt, it has to be a really good–one that doesn’t try to overly exaggerate the truth. Example, I would never get Ada this t-shirt, but I would get her this one^*.

This t-shirt I just bought for James falls into my acceptable list. I would never want to label him as mommy’s little brat, but see that face? He looks at me like that right before he sets off to do something destructive. What you don’t see in this photo is that he is banging on his sister’s OLPC.This morning at breakfast I had to say, “Jay, do not stick your spoon in my PCMCIA slot on my laptop.”

*Because in Ada’s world, there are a lot of things that have to do with dinosaurs.
