I Am Your Plant Father

A declaration of paternity over something that cannot consent, argue, or leave. The joke lands because the confidence is entirely unearned — the plant is fine, but it is fine largely by accident, and everyone involved knows it.

This one does particularly well as a gift, because it lets someone else make the claim on your behalf. It is the design most often bought by a partner, which tells you something about how the claim is received at home.

For July in the plant room, when the hoodie is a distant memory.

Light cotton jersey with bound armholes and neck that won't curl.
