Couples T-shirts

 

It's common in China for young dating couples and even married couples to wear matching clothes.  T-shirts are most common, but we have seen matching sweaters, jackets, pants, tennis shoes, and even all of the above worn at once. Chip and I decided to embrace the culture and get couples t-shirts.  Cartoon characters wearing Mao suits--very Chinese cool.

Chip's shirts says 老婆最大which means his wife is the leader.

My shirts says 老公最二which means her husband is a fool.

It sounds mean, but in Chinese it's funny.  I worried that it might be a little offensive, but our Chinese church friends assured us that it is genuinely funny. And in the eyes of the Chinese, the fact that we are wearing matching shirts is a sign of true love.
