That first Uncle one is hilarious and I'm not a hillbilly! In Navajo culture you are supposed to kid around with your in-laws like that. Like my 3 brother-in-laws always tease that my son is their's and the 2 youngest are 9 and 11. Lol. Guess everyone has their own idea of funny. I want that tee for our next one! Hey!

Exactly what I thought.

My favs are the ones for twins:
I love my Wombmate
1 of 2 2 of 2
Baby A Baby B
Frick Frack
Pride Joy

The one that I still think about getting for my twinkies:
“Yes, we’re twins.
No, we’re not identical.”

Particularly when they were infants (they’re now 16 mos) the inquiries went like this almost every time:
“Are they twins?” Yes :)
“Oh, a boy and a girl?” Yes
“How nice!” Yes, it’s wonderful.
“Are they identical?” …nope.

Several funny ones though, and I can definitely see some grandparents being confused by the motivation to putting some of these on a baby.</p> I like the pimp shirt.
