The Most Wonderful Thing About Tiggers


Fits me to a T.


My Life in T-Shirts




When I was in college, my sister bought me a real cool Tigger shirt. I won't describe the front as you should be looking right at it. But the back had the Tigger song printed on the back: You know the one . . .




The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers


Is Tiggers are wonderful Things


Their Tops are made out of Rubber


Their Bottoms are made out of Springs


They're Bouncy, Trouncy, Flouncy, Pouncy Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun!


But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is, I'm the only one.




It continues (although I'm not sure it continues on the shirt)




Tiggers are wonderful fellas


Tiggers are awfully sweet


Everyone ellis is jealous! That's why I repeat repeat




I loved that shirt. That shirt got through college, made it through 2 years in Russia. There's a picture of me wearing it in my yearbook from seminary. My wife wore it on a missions trip to Turkey in 2000. Sometime after that it came up missing. It had a long and storied life so I didn't grieve too much for it, but I sure do miss it. It would have made quite the adult t-shirt turned kid's pajamas.




This post is one in a series of remembrances of t-shirts past. Some people may wonder why I'm so nostalgic about t-shirts. The truth is, I'm nostalgic about everything. I'm nostalgic about the future. Here is a quick ditty I just composed to the Tigger tune that may explain my love for t-shirts.




The most wonderful thing about t-shirts


Is t-shirts are quite fun to wear


They're great to roll up your sleeves in


They help you let down your hair


They're cool, they're stylish, some think they're childish and while I will not bicker


the most wonderful thing about t-shirts is they're frontwards bumper stickers!




Well that's it for me for today. I like t-shirts. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Head on over to Half Past Kissin' time for more fragmented Friday fun.

That is a cool T-Shirt! My hubby is also a T-Shirt aficionado - he has quite the collection of guitar ones and some other unique fun ones, but he never had one as cool as Tigger. ;)

Happy FF a day late! :)

Nice! T-shirts are a great way to express yourself. I love mine that says, "I'm busy. Read my blog!" Too funny.

I hope you get a new Tigger shirt one day... :)
