T-Shirts...They're used as a layer to protect us from the cold in the winter. Shade bare skin from the sun, light, (transparent when wet!) covering during the summer heat. Wonderful to throw on for housework, washing the car, cleaning out the garage or washing the dog. They're comfortable and really grow on us (hopefully in sentiment and not from lack of personal hygiene!). Did I mention I was Baptized wearing my t-shirt from the Peter Pan play that Christopher was in and Kenneth directed?
T-Shirts...Concert Shirts, Political Shirts, Team Shirts, Band Shirts, Humorous Shirts, Shirts That Support a Cause, Vacation Shirts, Souvenir Shirts, Tie-Dye Shirts, Protest Shirts, Company Shirts, Church Shirts, School Shirts, the list goes on and on.
T-Shirts, more than any other single item, come closest to telling the stories of our lives. Many babies go home from the hospital sporting shirts stating that they are 'the little brother' or 'the little sister,' and the collection has begun. You can bet there will be a corresponding t-shirt for every age, thought, sport, activity, super-hero, performer, 'his,' 'hers,' 'Stupid,' 'I'm With Stupid," cartoon character, club, organization, school, team, fund-raiser, etc...
So, hey, next time you go to grab that favorite 't' or throw a load of them in the washer, reflect for a moment and you'll probably see your life from the perspective of your t-shirt collection!
