One of the greatest lines of the show lol And an even better episode!

[@josephclegg3562]

Crowbear 77 I wonder what ever happened to that shirt. Theo never wore it again.

Another favorite line is when Cliff and Claire realize that the shirt cost almost $100 bucks and Cliff says: "No 14yr old should have a shirt like that unless he is singing on stage with his five brothers!....CLASSIC!

But this is why Cliff was such a good father. He kept the shirt just in case when he was already upset over how expensive it was. Its all because he knew how much it meant to Theo. Kinda funny how Theo ended up being the child they were most proud of.

[@atieyamiller]

I paid a seamstress 200 dollars to make me a dress.I was SO excited when she called me to come try it on and I tried it on for the first time today and it looks like the dress version of theo's shirtl!!!

This goes out to all those who were wronged by seamstresses. So glad my sister and this video made me laugh after such a disappointing day.
