OK, I’ll get the shirts done up, but somebody give me a better design. I’m not a graphic designer. Do you want different font? Different text? Add some sort of picture or logo or graphic?

Color wise, I was thinking red heather with white lettering.

EDIT: OK, so I just ordered a dozen of these shirts split up between L, XL & XXL. Just need to settle on the design and design color.

We can take that part off easily. Actually we can do the design both ways. Easy to make it available with or without.

I was just thinking that would be a shirt I couldn't/wouldn't wear around the grandkids.

Meh. The world has sharp edges, best to toughen them up early :mrgreen:



Note: I'm only teasing, we all raise our kids in a different manner. ;)

Yeah you are right about that. The deal is they are not my kids and one group of parents would not be happy with me explaining what that means using that word. The other group would think it was funny.

Heh. Yeah I imagine the minefields of being a grandparent are even worse than that of the parent in some respects.

It can be a juggling act: Who eats what when. Who watches what or not on the artificial babysitter(tv). Plus the kids are always trying to scam/play you. It does get interesting. I tell the wife after they left and she is upset because I didn't stick to all the rules: "I did my job! It's what I'm supposed to do as a grandparent"...i.e.: spoil them.
