"...Dicks are for Chicks!"
So my ex husband has this on a teeshirt that he wears in public and in the viewing displeasure of my daughter and her friends...etc etc etc.
Is this appropriate to be wearing around 10 year old children.
It's like during whistles and stops of play at her hockey games - the announcer people are playing music like, "She Fucking Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd or "P.I.M.P." by 50cent or "Without Me" by Eminem.
I know that kids are exposed to much worse on TV and in movies and video games by as parents don't we have responsibility to keep out children from this as much as we can.

Heh - A girlfriend of mine was introducing her boyfriend to her ex-cop father for the first time. She could not be there to pick out his clothes for him so she told him to "wear something tasteful to impress the old man". He showed up wearing a t-shirt that read 'I'm so horny I could fuck the crack of dawn' :)
a bunch of us booger eatin moron's loaded up and drove to austin once upon a time for my sister's wedding.
little haroxd (a neighbor) wore his "southern pride" cock-fighting t-shirt....that made the liberals feel all smilie inside....not
the end of my tired old story, here's my reply:
Yes, barbie. I think we actually do have to decide how we're going to act and appear. So, without wasting hours argueing "would you this or that" to see where we all disagree that the "line" is I'll say that all an ADULT parent has to do is realise that your kid is going to do what they want to do and they WILL use all the dumb shit you've done to justify it. Regardless what the TV/radio shows/says you have a personal appearance that you choose. Choice includes what NOT to wear. What you might deem appropriate to wear on a date is not necessarily what would make you comfortable at your kids sporting event.
I don't think it exposes th ekids to anythign they don't hear or see elsewhere but now they ASSOCIATE this type of thing with him. They will act on that. Some day he'll try to put his foot down for somethign that "you just don't do" and she'll laugh at him and award him some hypocrite points.
on the other hand, he's a guy. men are notoriously stupid when it comes to making decisions about how to appear in front of family.
our sense of humor becomes distorted and we forget that other ppl can't hear the funny explination for the poor-taste in clothes that's playing in our heads.
hmmmm
I'm glad I never dressed like a goob in public because I thought it was cool

Oh, oh, oh... Truer words were never spoken and would fit a myriad of situations that men get into.
What makes it so classic is that so many of us know it and at times, bask in the glory of it.

I try and refrain from such acts now-a-dayz.
I ran into one of my old, well respected, high school teachers wearing my "Remember my name, you'll be screaming it later" T-shirt last year.
Damn I felt like an idiot.
