    i just dont understand how the fuck someone could interpret a hendrix tee shirt in the same catagory as a "daddys little whore" tee shirt...it makes no sense to me...

    It's already at the bottom of the drawer...:D After he came down wearing it this morning and we talked about it, that is where I put it.

    I am knitting you an Ernie sweater, everyone should sport the horizontal stripes of Ernie.



    BTW, my son is 9 and has Autism. He does not understand social crap, like racism. I had to carefully explain why I didn't want him to wear it. He asked me "what are black people?" Which is nice because his school is full of all colours. :) He just sees people.

    Aw, that's cool, Mitten.

    And that's another reason you made the right decision: you do not need your autistic son to have to explain his shirt to people. It probably wouldn't go well.

    I know bro but its a sick world we live in, even when you and I see these things as harmless, but with the eyes of a stranger its much more difficult to determine whats going on upstairs, better to be safe than sorry. exspecially when it come to kids public safety. its much more different than a perv that gets turned on by the color blue. imo.

    My friend Mark taught his godchild to call everyone a silly Jew. I make damn sure I'm never around that little kid in public.

    I agree...An extremely poor attempt at trying to be witty but he crashed and burned and failed in the process...

    As a mom, you have every right to do whatever you want with the gifts your son receives from adults.

    I approve of your choice. I think you made the right choice. It's a cute gesture to bring back a part of history for your son, and I understand that it was a souvenir - I like the idea. I still think you made the right choice to send him to school in something else.
