At first glance, I thought this "Kiss Goodnight" T-shirt from Threadless T-Shirts was adorable. Sure, it simultaneously evoked fond memories of my father tucking me into bed as a little kid and my first boyfriend kissing me goodnight (Freud would have a field day), but surely still worth buying. Navy blue matches my coloring. The silhouettes are beautiful. And did I mention it's only five dollars?
Then I read the user comments. "Sure, bald is beautiful...but it's just sad on a little kid," comments becks5. "Yeah, I think the guy needs some hair, he reminds me of E.T.," responds MadAshGar. Suddenly, all I can picture when I look at the shirt is E.T. waddling around saying "phone home, phone home" to a young Drew Barrymore. And speaking of young girls ...
"Adorable, but why is the girl's mouth wide open?" writes fluffysam. "Hmmm...what rhymes with schmorgasm," agrees sinistersipps. I don't even bother with the 30-something other comments and exit out of the window. So much for my sweet goodnight tee.
