Put Warning Labels on Your Children

I guess this is pretty inventive, but it’s also just a little bit weird. From A Whole Lot of Nothing, via Rebecca, we find a series of children’s t-shirts which warn other people about what can’t go in them. There’s No Peanuts, Dairy and Egg Free and Gluten Free. As a semi-vegetarian, let me offer the inevitable and awful pun: where’s the no beef?

I guess they’re handy if you don’t trust your daycare to keep track of these things. Personally, I’d be a little bolder with my shirts. How about Don’t Feed Me Crap, Please Toilet Train Me or I’m in Montessori, So Bugger Off.

I was 8 when I found out that I was deathly allergic to Brazil nuts. According to my mom, the day after I had my allergy testing, I wore a sign to school that said, “Nuts can kill me.” Yeah, I was a dramatic kid.

One of my nieces, a very clever child, has cerebral palsy. Her mother and I joked that we should get her a T-Shirt saying “Yes, I have CP, but I’m probably a lot smarter than you”.

“My dad says your mom drives like a twit
and parks worse.”

“Yes, I say Merry Christmas,
get over it.”

“Learn to say ‘Thank-you’,
I’ll despise you a little less so.”

“My dad is depressive and is prone to rages.
It’s genetic.”

Gluten, nuts, and dairy are things that would often be fed to babies - beef not so much.

Also, vegetarianism is usually a choice, whereas these children don’t really have a choice in their nut allergies.
