When I'm feeling down about the population at my school, I like to wear my "When life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold" shirt and watch people's reactions throughout the day. Usually it's a combination of confusion and fear sprinkled with embarrassment.
Today, I was standing at a table advertising studying abroad when a sixtysomething year old man interrupted:
Man: Excuse me, are you a student here?
Me: Um, yes.
Man: At St. Kate's?
Me: ....Yes.
Man: Why are you wearing that shirt. (there was no question mark in this sentence)
Me: (insert eye roll) It's a band. Or, erhm. A group. A group from around here just put out a new album and this is the title.
Man: Ohhhh!
Me: Why?
Man: Because I graduated from St. Thomas years and years ago and we used to call you girls over here "Lemons". I wondered if they were connected.
Yessssss.

I too enjoy the responses that that shirt evokes! It even rivals the anger that people get when I tempt to compare war to cupcakes...i prefer the latter!
