A surefire way for mothers to get their sons to tuck in their shirts, 1940s style (via Kitsch-Slapped)

The illustrated boy looks pretty darn pleased with his cute new lace edging.

I can see him now meeting his friends at the soda fountain. 

‘Fellows, check out Mom’s latest effort at mind control.’ (spins)

(chorus of whistles and applause)

'Why, Jimmy, I do believe you’ve started a fashion!’

'Let’s go to the Woolworth and get lace edging for all our shirts!’

'Doug can sew them on, he got his Handicraft merit badge last summer!’

'Never regretted it.’

'Jimmy, your mom has some internalised misogyny to figure out.’

'Don’t I know it.’

Stealing this for soft butch looks.
