Making Memories T-Shirts

Will you remember this

'Here you go, kid! A worm.'

"I can't protect you from everything, but I can read you stories that make you believe I can protect you from everything."

"There was no other choice, Mom. It was a double dog dare."

"These are the very weapons your mother and I used in our famous duel."

My First Camera

'Dewey! Grandpa's stuck again. Give him a couple of whacks upside the head.'

"10th Anniversary Woodstock Reunion'

Mother pours bubble bath into child's plastic pool

I painted them all from memory.

'My first camera'

"And this little piggy went – whoa! Where is your fifth little piggy?!"

'For God's sake give me some angst, how will I ever write a misery memoir?'

"Better to have had ice cream and lost it than never to have had ice cream at all."

A boy with a camera

"We laughed. We cried. But mostly we watched TV."

'Admit it, you've been laughing behind my back ever since 1957 when we went in that hall of mirrors in Skegness!'

Mission Impossible: The Family Photo

Origins of a family tradition.

"I remembered that time you said you wished you had a biographer."

"It was only when I started to write the story of my life that I realised I'd forgotten to have one."

Animal and Human Memory

'More pictures of your kids. Wow, they've really grown since yesterday.'

"It's the dog."

'Oh, to be 75 again!'

"Forget the future, tell me what happened to the past ten years."

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I wish I had emotions like people do. I wish I could think as logically as people do. I'd like to take a walk along the shoreline without rusting. Storing energy in a battery rather than a pot belly would be nice. Having a sense of humor would be fun. The ability to selectively delete memories would be great to have. I wish I didn't have to worry about digital viruses. I wish I didn't have to worry about biological viruses.

'What are you doing whining to me about your terrible childhood? Write it all down, you idiot. You've got a bestseller there.'

'This reminds me of something funny. Remember the day I was shopping in that china shop and suddenly sneezed?'

"I was all the way to the corner....hen I smelled the chocolate chip cookies!"

'I'm about to say my prayers, Dad. Do you want more pocket money too?'

"Hurry, hurry! When you get back, we'll finish rehashing 1924 and get right on to 1925!"

'You haven't changed a bit Perkins.'

'Shredded wheat cereal, cracked wheat toast, and crushed pineapple. I didn't do it. It came that way.'

'He colorized our old photo album.'
