Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shirt say?
The shirt reads "I can't. My kid has practice." in a two-line distressed typography design. The first line is in a flowing script font, and the second line is in bold block letters — a fun, relatable statement for any sports parent.
How does the sizing run?
Our tees run true to size with a classic unisex fit. Most women prefer their usual size for a relaxed look, or size down for a more fitted silhouette. Check the size chart in the product images for exact measurements.
Will the print fade or crack?
The distressed look is intentional and part of the vintage design. The print uses high-quality heat transfer technology that bonds permanently with the fabric. Machine wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low for best results.

Bought this as a Mother's Day gift for my mom who's been a sports mom for 20+ years. She loves it. The fit is great, the fabric is soft, and the message is timeless. Highly recommend.
My husband got this for me and I literally laughed out loud. It's so true. The shirt is really comfortable and the print has that perfect worn-in look. I wear it to every practice now.
Funny and true. The shirt fits well and the print is holding up after several washes. I sized up for an oversized look and it's perfect. The distressed charcoal color is a nice touch.
Got this for my best friend who's always using the 'practice' excuse. She wears it to every game now. The two-font design is really cute and the shirt is great quality.
Three kids, three different sports, and this shirt is my uniform. Washed it at least 10 times now and the print still looks brand new. The typography is really well done.
