Sexy Nurse

A classic, Frances! Another option: Just nurse! Lol.

Heated Rivalry Character

Good one! Wearing Mom’s Ilya Rozanov shirsey definitely could work. Just one question: Are we ready for an entire day of mom’s ‘I’m coming to the cottage’ jokes? Let’s put a pin in this one!

Amazon Delivery Guy Smoking Big Fatty

Leo, my man, this is more of a “family joke.” Not to get all woke but not sure we should do the Jamaican jokes! Love the creativity though, Mon!

Unemployed Dad In Dress Shirt and Sweat Pants

Really? Kicking the Old man when he’s down! Lol. Love you, buddy!

Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Tough one! RBG was a hero. Remember your Notorious RBG shirt? So cute. But then, well, she could have retired, but hung on until the bitter end. Do we really want to remind people how she utterly effed the Supreme Court and us for decades? Let’s aim for more treat, less trick!

Baby Oil

I know we didn’t let you watch the Diddy documentary. Let’s just say this is not going to work.

Open to Work Guy Staring at Linkedin For 17 Hours a Day

Whoa. I’m really catching strays here!

Lindsay Clancy

Hmm. Mom says the case really shows what women go through. Guess we’re okay with murder now! Dad joke incoming: If you love the idea of being a Clancy so much, maybe you and some friends can be the Irish folk group the Clancy Brothers? I mean, it’s a little obscure, but pretty funny, right?

Massachusetts Lesbian Bar Proprietor

Sweetie, you’re 12! How do you even know about this? TBH, your idea to pair a KN95 with Mom’s Scissor Squad T-shirt with the ripped out neck AND a flannel is strangely right on! This from TikTok? I mean… I love it, but do you think Lucas’s moms will find this funny? A next step for you: If the moms do complain, will they complain to mom or me? LMK and we can make the call!

Mel Robbins

Hard no. Lol.

Soulless Fucking HR Person You Thought Was a Friend But Then Popped Up In The Zoom Just to Tell You Your Position Has Been Eliminated

JFC. You two really have to stop listening to my phone conversations. Wear whatever the fuck you want.
