With today’s plumbing technology, the old problem of a toilet continuing to run after flushing doesn’t come up as often as it used to. But back in my younger days, it sometimes happened, and the universal fix was to just jiggle the handle. In honor of the old days, and our dads’ instructions:

When I showed this shirt to Calfgrit10, he immediately burst into laughter. Loud laughter. So loud that his little brother came running from across the house to see what was happening.

When Calfgrit6 arrived, and looked, big brother pointed to the t-shirt and said, “Spell that.”

After he spelled it out loud, he smiled in slightly embarrassed humor, and Calfgrit10 again burst into raucous laughter. I took all this as proof that this design is a hit with the 10 year old and under crowd.

And then CG6 spent the rest of the evening spelling icup out loud, and CG10 spent the rest of the evening overreacting to the joke.

Mom is a queen. She deserves to travel in a beautiful white carriage, pulled by a team of six magnificent white horses.

With power steering, automatic sliding doors, and a DVD player for the kids.

My carriage awaits.

This design is for the upcoming Fourth of July celebration of our country’s Declaration of Independence — done up Star Wars geek style!

A DECLARATION

When in the Course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

Note: This is the verbatim text from the Declaration of Independence, including exact capitalization and punctuation.

Star Wars and the American Revolution were all about rebels versus an empire. Get one to show your love of country and your love of your country’s great pop culture icon.
