Inspired by Elenfair’s thread, which includes this information from anyrose.
, I have come to confess to putting the baby in a “Not For Sale” t-shirt. Originally, it was something for him to wear while in his play pen at one of my first garage sales. Folks at the garage sale thought it was cute.
Despite rumors, I did not have his toddler brother dressed in one that said “Make an Offer.” Although I was tempted. Not to sell him, just to buy the shirt.
At a later Christmas, I got all three kids baseball-style shirts that said “Entropy Elf”. After many years, I did get a laugh for that. The youngest was wearing the oldest’s shirt by then. It was at picnic day at UC Davis. A few grad students were putting on a demonstration, freezing things with liquid nitrogen, outside of the Chem building. I guess it needed a specialized audience - a chem student with kids.
What slogans have you foisted upon your offspring?
Aw, well. When I worked at the children’s cosignment shop, I’ll admit there were a couple that, if I had a kid, I’d probably dress them in them from time to time.
One said: Warning: I emit noxious gases.
Another:
**AB/CD **

For those about to talk.
Not exactly on my kid, but my then-pregnant wife wore a promo t-shirt I got when I worked at Musicland (RIP). It was for a short-lived group called LaTour, and their hit was “People Are Still Having Sex.”
I did buy a “Poopsmith” onesie for our baby, and dressed her in it several times before she outgrew it. Outgrew the 12-month onesie, that is, by month seven. Oy.
I’m just waiting on one of my dorky D&D-playing friends to spawn, because I’m just itching for an excuse to buy one. As awesome as it is, it’s not quite incentive enough for me to have a baby of my own (almost… but not quite).
