ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW
I LEARNED FROM T-SHIRTS

Lesson 33. Don’t leave things too late.

In kindergartens and many other settings, people have to deal with the issue of wetting pants. It might be incontinence or it might just be that they forgot to go. I mean sometimes, especially for kids, there are so many distractions that a full bladder has difficulty getting your attention.

In those situations it's up to the carer or other responsible adults to remind the pant wetter to go, or at the very least, to ask if they need the potty or toilet. Which is where this clever shirt comes in.

Instead of waiting until you see a dark patch on the crotch of their pants or down one leg (by which point it's too late), it reminds you
to ask early, and often. It does this with the simple message 'Ask me if I need the toilet'.

It's also available in organic cotton and is useful whether you are toilet training or toilet timing.

The lesson to avoid putting things off applies to all facets of life. So take inspiration from the first global twitchhiker, Paul Smith, who says "Everyone has ideas about fun things they'd like to do but never get round to them. Then six months later someone else does it and they think, damn why didn't I do that? I didn't want to be that person."
