Yesterday I was walking with my two year old son. We were coming home from the coffee shop where we had been drinking coffee (me) and apple juice (him). A propos of nothing he looked up at me and said:

“Is that your tea cup shirt?” I was wearing a t-shirt with a South African cricket logo on it.

“Uh, no,” I said.

“Is it your water shirt?”

“No.”

He looked perplexed.

“Is it a coffee shirt?”

“No.”

Then I got it.

“Ah Finn,” I said. “It’s a t-shirt, not a tea shirt.”

“Oh right,” he said. ” A t-shirt.”

But I think he meant “tea shirt” anyway. I’m sure there will be a future installment to this story somewhere down the road.
