Saw a guy in Walmart wearing a shirt that said, "Just a dad trying to keep his kids from growing up liberal" [View all]

I walked up to him and said, "I totally get your shirt." He chuckled a bit and said "thank you." Then I continued, "It's rough when your kids grow up smarter than you." He stopped chuckling and walked away.
