Sights, Sounds, and Customs Volume 5

Everyone here LOVES to wear tee-shirts, especially ones with English writing on them. We see tee-shirts with all kinds of American logos, and sayings on them, from Nike all the way to local college slogan shirts. Most people don't know the significance of the slogans or beer adds that they're wearing, all they care about is that it's in English. But today's English shirt took the cake!

A man and his wife were walking hand in hand as they passed by me while I sat with Michelle Dwyer in a mall food court. (Our families met at language school and we live only 25 minutes from each other here in Chile!) I don't know why I noticed this particular tee-shirt, but it was pretty neat looking. Maybe the word "Mom" or maybe even the word "cheerlead..." caught my eye. The shirt was kind of cool pink or mauve type color and the words were written in a bold blue. It said something to the effect of "Proud to be a cheerleader's MOM!" So this really GREAT tee-shirt was worn by the MAN!
