I have such a bad memory for names, it’s just terrible.  I don’t understand how people do it (remembering names) — it has something to do with immediately saying the name out loud as soon as you hear it, like ‘Nice to meet you, Eileen’, or ‘How do you do, Ronald?’.  Doesn’t help me much though.

My little boy started school a few weeks ago, and you can imagine how difficult I regard the teacher’s job of remembering 20 to 30 names in a few days time.  I decided to help her a little, and simultaneously boost my son’s confidence of course, by dressing him in a personalized T-shirt with his name (and a fire-truck) on the back. Although the teacher never said, I imagine she must have been immensely thankful for the help…

I got Pim’s personalized name T-shirt at Simply Colors, a good place because there are unlimited combinations of fonts, sizes, images and colours, and you can play with your design on-line and will see instant results.  Another good place to go is the designer’s collection of Stuck on You, where there are plenty of cute designs available and the quality of the T-shirts is really good.

I’m thinking, maybe the whole world should start wearing clothes with their names on it — how easy that would make life for me!
