I saw these tee shirts on display at Walgreens today and did a double-take. And then I drove all the way home to get my camera. They’re for children– very tiny children (labeled 2T, 3T etc.). And they’re on sale for the bargain price of $7.99 each, marked down from the original $15!!<\/p>\n

Let’s see what these tee shirts say:<\/p>\n

“Lock up your daughters” on a black tee, which I assume is for boys. Think about what that means for a moment.<\/p>\n

“Does this diaper make my butt look big?” on a pink tee, for girls.<\/p>\n

“My dad rocks” on a red tee (for boys, I think). This doesn’t make much of a statement until you compare it with the accompanying tees about mothers…<\/p>\n

“My mom’s hotter than your mom” on a white tee (again, I think for boys).<\/p>\n

“My mom is hot” on a blue tee (boys).<\/p>\n

and the clever “I cry when ugly people hold me” on black (for boys?).<\/p>\n

While these aren’t quite as terrible as the ones I dug up on the internets a while ago<\/a>, I’m shocked to see them on sale at Walgreens. I guess I expect to find creepy, sexist stuff online more often than at my friendly neighborhood drugstore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
