I was looking for TODDLER T-shirts last weekend. My son is two and already wears a 4T shirt. I had very few choices that did not have really rude comments on them. I look at a t-shirt, and if I don't want my son to say that to me, won't buy the shirt.

I too despise the attitude shirts, even though they do make me chuckle when they are on the hanger. The Tominator does have one that says "I do all my own stunts" but seriously, he's already fallen down the stairs 4 times. And counting. Well said Chili.

I signed the petition and I put the button on my site. I'm totally in agreement. But honestly, I think it's just a matter of consumers saying "no". I believe the only impact that we can have on retailers is to boycott that type of clothing. So for me, this discussion is good because it brings to light an issue that we've been very blase about in our country. But bottom line, nothing will change until people stop buying the junk. My daughter's only nine, so we haven't really had an issue with this yet. I have no problem finding decent clothes. It's not that we don't see the bad stuff, but there are choices. But I know as she gets older, this will become more difficult. If not for the idiot "sayings" on T-shirts, the for the provocative style. I was a high school guidance counselor. Our rule was that the shirt had to touch the pants. And raunchy T-shirts were banned. We used to make kids switch into lost and found t-shirts. So it was never a problem for very long;) You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic also. I signed the petition and I put the button on my site. I’m totally in agreement.

We look high and low to find some that are funny without being disrespectful--no easy task. Those t-shirts drive me nuts.

I have 2 boys and no girls. Fortunately my boys get enough T-shirts through various activites that I don't have to go to the store to buy them. We do have a collection from schools (GRADE SCHOOL, parent;s alma maters) and as souvineers (NC Transportation museum, some Disney Character). While I grinned the first time I saw some of those attitude T's. The more I thought about it, the less I thought they were cute.

I'll admit that I think some of the sayings are perversely clever, but I would never in a million years buy one for my son.

The Target ad had boy's shirts that said things like "Enough with the Learning already!" and "I tried to be good but I got bored" There is NO WAY I am letting my son be any less "modest" than my daughter. NO ONE in my family will wear these things. I posted about a week ago on this very subject!
