The limits of Decorum
Posted by Bookish Wendy in General, Nobody puts Baby in the corner
I keep meaning to post this “photo”. Rob and I had two sets of t-shirts made back in July. We wore these during our trips to see our families - the trip where we spilled the beans about the pregancy. This set was my favorites of the two (the other set said “Little (our last name) on Board” with an arrow).
It was pretty funny to watch peoples reactions. More than a few looked at the t-shirt, read it, and just kept talking to us. My cousin later said, “I just thought it was a funny t-shirt.” One of Rob’s sister in-laws thought that it meant we had just had sex. Yes, thank you, I am so FULL OF CLASS that I would wear a t-shirt announcing that my husband and I just had sex.
There are some limits to what I will do. Granted, they are relatively small in number but that is another post.
I put my t-shirt on the other day and it barely fits. Not so much because of the huge growth protruding from my midsection - but more because of the boobage. I should dig out Smarty and have her try it on.

Smarty would look great wearing the t-shirt!
Love it! Cracks me up!
I LOVE your shirt! When I was pregnant folks would say stuff like,”I bet your hubby is so excited” or something like that. I’d always respond, “Maybe. I’m not sure who the father is. I’d had a rough night.” hehehehehe.
i’ll tell you in person in 15 minutes how much i love those t-shirts.
hee hee
OMG! I love the way you announced you pregnancy! Too funny
Those are just perfect! I love it
Gawd, those shirts are hilarious and a great way to break the news! I love it. Must remember for future “bomb-dropping.”
Hah! I remember when I told my family that I was pregnant, my brother snorted, “You got knocked up?”. Classy.
hahaha
Hahaha, the only thing funnier than those t-shirts is the non-response they evoked from some of your family. Guess they’re used to your antics, eh?
I remember Smarty….definitely put the shirt on her!
Hah! Those are great!
[...] Happy birthday, Yarnstorm! Happy belated birthday, Down with the Knitty Gritty! Help Babyknits name her new jumper. Check out the shirts at the Bookish Girl. All This By Hand has a harrowing (but ultimately happy) kitten story. Another gratitude post: Baseball Knitter. [...]
OMG! Hilarious - doesn’t that make you wonder what else your cousin DOESN’T know? Too funny.
You totally crack me up. Your family sounds pretty darn funny too.
Hahahah. A great way to announce! Of course, your fam’s response was even funnier.
These are awesome.
Ah, Smarty, the girl from another era.
People and their assumptions crack me up.
Very nice site!
