What: SATees

Why: I admit it. I’m a word nerd. A journalism major with an English minor, I’ve made my living out of word wrangling. While it’s not fair to project on my little one, I really hope that he grows up enjoying the English language as much as I do. That’s why I absolutely love these shirts from SATees. They include a variety of shirts with appropriate big word for you to dress your little person in. There’s “blithesome” (cheerful), “dilatory” (tending to cause delay), “pulchritudinous” (beautiful), and my favorite “puerile” (childish). The day I trotted my son out in his, I got some envious—and knowing—glances from other nerdy moms at the playground.

Is there someone special in your life who's a little, shall we say… puerile? Or perhaps dilatory is a better fit? Or maybe the best way to describe your littlest loved one is, simply, supine?

We came up with this idea a while back and are now trying to to get the word out. We've raised four kids between us, and know that there's no limit to the laudatory adjectives you can heap upon the children you love, no matter how ridiculously sophisticated the words may be… or perhaps especially if they're ridiculously sophisticated!
