Lost in Translation

The t-shirts worn in the rural areas are incredibly amusing. I can't help but smile when I see a little boy wearing a shirt with "world's cutest cowgirl" splashed in sequins across the chest. There's the ironic "I love snow days," or "blondes do it better" and the oh-so cherished image of a super slight 80 year old woman swimming in an oversized “Tupac Lives” tee. I'm passed by a woman, mud crusted hoe in hand, sporting the logo for a Minnesotan turkey trot and I'm left dumbstruck, once again, by the fickle finger of context.
