The "I Was Normal 2 Kids Ago" T-Shirt is a unisex cotton tee styled as a vintage concert tour shirt. The front features the slogan "I Was Normal 2 Kids Ago" in large distressed block lettering inspired by 1990s grunge typography. Available in black or heather grey, sizes S through 3XL.

Who Is This For?
This shirt is designed for Millennial parents (late 20s to early 40s) who appreciate self-deprecating humor about parenthood. It works as a Mother's Day gift, Father's Day gift, birthday gift, or a "no occasion needed" laugh for any parent friend. Popular for moms of two or more children, but the humor resonates with any parent.
Design & Aesthetic
The design intentionally mimics a vintage concert merchandise t-shirt: distressed ink, oversized block lettering, and the overall feel of something you'd find in a thrift store from 1997. This taps into the 1990s nostalgia trend, which has seen significant growth in parenting fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize the number of kids (e.g., "3 kids ago")? Currently the front design reads "2 Kids Ago" as a standard print. Contact us if you'd like a custom number and we'll see what we can do.
How does the back print personalization work? Select the "With Tour Dates" variant and type your children's names and birth years into the "Note to seller" field at checkout. We design the back print and send you a proof before printing.
What size should I order? The shirt runs true to size. For a relaxed, slightly oversized vintage tee look, we recommend ordering one size up.
Is this shirt machine washable? Yes. Machine wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low. The distressed print is designed to maintain its vintage look through washing.
