I had to take my son on a college visit last month and was shocked at the amount of offensive shirts that are worn by college kids. I wanted to cover my son’s eyes but then remembered that he was eighteen and would probably start doing the same thing once he got away from home. He commented that a lot of the kids had some great funny shirts when we left. I then knew that what I called offensive shirts, my son thought were funny shirts.

I guess that I can pretty much count on him wearing them. I hope that he has his own money to buy them though, because I will not be doing that for him. His father says that it is harmless and that all the kids do it but I thought that my son was a little more mature than that.

I remember some of the things that I did in college and would never tell my son those stories. Hopefully his father has not been telling him all of his college stories but I have a feeling that he has already. I guess if wearing some offensive shirts is the worst thing he is going to do then I should consider myself very lucky.
