a rant

So, I'm back from vacation . . .

I'm out shopping for some stuff for my nephew. My sister in law says he needs some clothes, so I shop for some. It's amazing how vain our culture is. I mean, you would be suprised at how many baby clothes reference mommy/daddy/grandpa/aunt or whoever. It's crazy.

But, you want to know the craziest part?? You can find stuff referencing mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, big brother, big sister and aunt. But who can you NOT find. That's right, you can't find uncle. It's an outrage. Seriously. Now my poor little nephew doesn't have any clothes telling people how great I am. I could tell he was very disappointed. But, that's the reality of the world we live in.

So, I think this can be my get rich quick scheme: baby clothes that tell people how great the uncle is. The first one is going to be, "My uncle is a pirate" and it can have a picture of a pirate on it. Who wouldn't buy that for his neice or nephew. I'll tell you who. It's the guy who would buy the "My uncle can beat up your daddy," shirt. Personally, I would buy either. And I know Jaxen would be proud to wear either.

However, I think the biggest seller would have to be, "If you think I'm cute, you should hook up with my uncle and become my aunt." Sure, it seems a bit exploitive. But, I know Jaxen would be happy to help me out.

So, let's get those screen prints going . . .
