I see so many funny shirts in the stores these days; I wonder who comes up with all of the designs. I remember when I was a kid and we would go to the little department store that was down the road and they would make us t shirts with their hot iron press. You could pick out of their designs or they would allow you to use their letters to come up with something unique.

I remember the day that my best friend and I thought we could get t shirts made with some bad words on it. The lady in charge of the hot iron press told us that she could not make offensive t shirts. Since we were only ten years old, we had no idea what offensive t shirts even meant but it did not sound good.

I was so afraid that my mother was going to find out what we had tried to do, but she never said anything about it. My friend and I went back to coming up with funny shirts that I guess were not considered offensive because they always made them for us after the one incident.

My best friend and I always laugh about the day that the lady told us that we could not make offensive t shirts. When we were eighteen and away from college, we made those t shirts with magic marker and wore them proudly.
