Ah, nostalgia. What would we do without it? Oh yeah, and mothers too. You get a good dose of both with the You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid patch from The Cheap Place. It's something only a mother would say. If you are older than 40 or so, your mother probably said it to you when you were a kid.
We love this patch because the sentiment behind it is classic. Back in the 60s and 70s, parents weren't paranoid about everything from sunshine to bicycles. They didn't hover over their kids like helicopters. Instead, they sent their kids out and let them be kids. This particular embroidered patch speaks to that very thing.
Dad didn't ban air guns from the house. He taught his kids how to use them safely. And if a kid wasn't behaving as his dad taught him, mom would remind him that he could ultimately shoot his eye out. And if it actually happened, lesson learned.
If you long for the days when people were less paranoid, less offended, and genuinely happy to just go live their lives, we think this patch is perfect for you. It was made for you and your generation, a generation that didn't take itself so seriously. So buy this one and wear it proudly. Gen Xers and trailing baby boomers, we're thinking of you!
The You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid patch measures 4x1.5 inches. It is a smaller patch ideal for adorning the front of a shirt or jacket. It would fit nicely on the back pocket of a pair of pants or shorts, on the front pocket of a denim vest, or even on a backpack or shoulder bag. A sturdy black thread sewn around the entire border will keep it permanently in place.
