Was in the thrift store looking for shirts for DD & saw a shirt that said "Future WAG". What the heck does that mean? I feel very old that I don't even understand phrases found on toddler's shirts

Is that really something I want my kid to aspire to. Glad I didn't buy it. Not that there is anything wrong with being married to a professional football player, I just don't see it as a reasonable life goal. Of course there was another shirt that said "shopaholic" & I didn't find that amusing either. Maybe it is just me.

Might as well buy a shirt with "Little Hooker" or "Future Trophy Wife" written on it.

I remember a story about a man holding his little guy and the lady standing in line behind him go super offended about the tot's shirt. She started going off on the dad about how horrible he was for advertising it and all kinds of stuff. Then the Dad adjusted the kid and she apologized. The shirt said "Daddy's little terror"--she thought it said "Daddy's little error". Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut

WAGs is the UK equivalent of "Football Wives".
I'm really glad you didn't buy it!

I love the onesies that say, "All Mommy wanted was a backrub" ;D
Wrong on so many levels, but pretty freaking funny. At least to me...

My nephew had a shirt when he was only a couple months old that said "I drink my moo, I do my poo, that's all I do"

I think it's great. The goal is to be a wife *and* a girlfriend at the same time, right? Classic overachiever. Might be best to go with two different sports for the husband and boyfriend, though; overlapping offseasons could get awkward.

To me WAG stands for WILD @ssed Guess - so before reading this thread, I would have been really confused if I saw a shirt that said future WAG.

I think "Daddy's little error" is hysterical, too!

www.tshirthell.com/babyhell.shtmlLot of good ones here. DN1 and DN2 have gotten several from us (including "Daddy Drinks Because I Cry" and "Now That I'm Safe, I'm Pro-Choice"). Luckily SIL is pretty cool

I've seen a couple of toddlers with "future porn star" on their shirtsnow I know how to bump DH off and have it look like an accident. He'd have a stroke if Gwen walked by wearing that shirt. He had a temper tantrum when he saw a bib that said "Juicy". He said newborns are not "Juicy". I said that depends on your definition of juicy. She did drool/spit up a lot.

I'm a bad human being. I don't have kids, and I think they are all funny as heck. And no one should be telling anyone else how to dress their kids. Some people don't know when to land the damned helicopter and stop parenting other people's kids.

I get creeped out by some of the "daddy's girl" clothes for little girls. There is something wrong to me about a see thru leopard print shirt that says "daddy's girl". I told DH they make me think of the wrong kind of "daddy".

To me WAG stands for WILD @ssed Guess - so before reading this thread, I would have been really confused if I saw a shirt that said future WAG. I only had 2 things come to mind when reading the shirt - SWAG which I have heard as "stuff we all get", but "we all get" didn't make sense. And then it made me think of that movie "Wag the Dog", which also made no sense. Funny story - knew a guy that got a shirt from a thrift store that said "Clothes belong in the closet" & had a picture of a closet on it. He thought it was funny because it was a statement of the obvious like "Shoes belong on your feet" or something. He was mortified when after wearing the shirt dozens of times someone finally explained that it was a statement about being gay & not being in the closet. I would find a shirt like "tax deduction" or even "daddy's little error" funny because it is more a joke about the parents. Something like "future porn star" or "future wag" bothers me because it is more a statement about the child's future & as a parent I don't want to think those things should be my daughter's goals.

DH did not find it funny when I said if Gwen is going to be a "future porn star" I hope she takes after her.
