Daddy-to-be Having Fun

Americans love T-shirts. They wear them everywhere: work, gyms, travel, casual gatherings and parties. With so many famous authentic All-American fashion designers/companies continuously innovate in this area, T-shirts aren’t a simple, casual white knit shirt that absorbs sweats well anymore. It is more a fashion statement for Americans who emphasis individuality and humor. There are so many to explore about the T-shirt culture in America, but I am not going to enumerate here. Just recently, I found some companies selling humor Tees for expecting daddies. They are so much fun and cool that I want to record here. This small example also reflects the American T-shirts culture perfectly.

Nowadays, there are enormous wardrobe choices for fashionable mommies-to-be to have fun during pregnancy. As an equally important part of the human being-creating project, daddies are getting some actions in their wardrobes too. With no exception the easiest way is to express their excitements and proud through their favorite tees.

“CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE DIAPER AT A TIME”, this statement is the first one that caught my eyes and I felt it especially interesting to me. I was wondering if the designer borrowed this line from my Alma Mater's (Stanford GSB) tagline which says, “CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE PROJECT AT A TIME.”

And there are tees for proud daddies like:
“YES, IT’S MINE”
“LOOK AT WHAT I DID”
“YES, I DID IT”
“THE MAN BEHIND THE BELLY”

Further more, there are provocative statements like:
“MY BOYS CAN SWIM”
“HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES”
“BULLSEYE”
“I AM THE MILKMAN”
These statements are really funny but I think it takes quite some courage to wear and show to the world in some culture.

Isn’t pregnant life more fun for women with these little gestures from their hubbies? I love these humor tees. Too bad that as a conservative Chinese, my guy XJ is not willing to wear these tees except for the first one. He said, “Honey, I am more willing to peel and cut one more apple for you everyday.” Well, life is also about tradeoff, isn't it?
