''If You'Re Rich, I'M Single! '' Poem by Mary Nagy

Spending the day shopping
for school clothes with my daughters yesterday
was a real eye-opener.
We were looking at the t-shirts (of course)
since they are pretty much
t-shirts and jeans kinda girls.

The favorite thing is to have your shirt
say a little something about you.
Tell the world ''who'' you are!

WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THESE KIDS?
The shirts we found had sayings like,
''If You're RICH, I'm SINGLE! '',
''Your Boyfriend Likes ME! '',
''Where's My Sugar Daddy? '',
''I Hope You Make More Than I Can Spend! '',
''Buy Me Something And I'll Be Nice''.

So, frustrated, we go look in the boys department
in the hopes of finding some ''normal'' t-shirts.
Here is what we find there:
''Pimp'',
''Playa'',
''Girls Like A Big Foot'',
''I Love Hot Moms''.

Since when is it funny
to teach our daughters to be money-hungry skanks
and our sons to be sex-craved pigs?
If this is their idea of telling the world who they are,
it's no wonder our world is so screwed up!
