failed experiment

i got this “awesome” idea recently to make a homemade “pay it forward” t-shirt. because that’s my new motto, etc., etc. i was REALLY excited about it. so much so that i went to the thrift store to get a shirt (DURING WORK?!), but i could only find a tight-fitting salmony-pink tee. i kinda knew it was a bad idea, but i bought it anyway.

but then i kept putting off the project, because every time i looked at the shirt, i was like, “that is not going to end well.”

and no surprise, it did not turn out well. like, see this picture? this is a GOOD picture of it. this is the BEST picture i could get of it. i now realize the writing should be kind of tiny or really huge and the shirt not salmon-colored and also not tight and also not anything like this picture.

so i will not be wearing this “pay it forward” t-shirt. i am going to pay it forward right to the trash can. and the trash can will pay it forward to the dump and the dump to mother earth and mother earth will be like, wait, this is not exactly how it works.
