In Which I Am Taken Too Literally
S o about a week ago, my five year old son complained bitterly of something I had done and I cannot even remember what it was, just that I offered up in my flippant way: “What you need, kid, is a t-shirt that says ‘It’s All My Mom’s Fault.’” He really perked up, “Yeah, I do!” And I promptly forgot about it.Until tonight. when I was folding his laundry. And found this.
In case you cannot read five year old phonetics: It is all my mom’s fault.Or maybe he was giving me laundry instructions, and it is all my mom’s to fold.

That is just a classic! I should remember that off-hand comment of yours for the frequent times I find myself being accused as well!
*rolling on the floor laughing*
That is a permanent piece of family lore.
Mara scored a 49 (tough to do based on how they score) on Free Rice, but is too humble to admit this publicly. Way to go, my super smart spouse!
Hahahaha, just a little thank you for doing the laundry hey? hahaha. so funny.
This is so funny! Makes me miss him all the more. Sorry we missed his birthday…
O. M. G…. I love his alternative design sensibility, too–to have the logo going UP THE SIDE of the t-shirt instead of the usual boring horizontal-across-the-front tactic.
I don’t actually know what a Free Rice score of 49 means, but I know how hard you make me work in Scrabulous, so I’m not a bit surprised. And a giant congratulations on being a NaNoWriMo winner….so when do we get to read ‘er? ;o)
Okay, so I totally wrenched my back this week, and everything hurts, but when I read this I laughed so hard that the muscles screamed and I didn’t care because this is HILARIOUS! I LOVE it! You will let him wear it publicly, right?
