This tree reminds me of a little sappling that nearly took me out as a wee child.
I was racing my bike home from school against my friend and we were on a tight, slightly wooded greenbelt path. As we flew along the path, he bumped me slightly and sent me into the trees...
My bike hit a nice little pine sappling, just like the one on this shirt. Let's just say my bike stopped, and I kept going... Up and over the handlebars and skidding on to my face on the asphalt.
My friend laughed at me. Then I cried. Then I tried to punch my friend. Then somehow we became friends again almost as soon as the blood on my face and arms dried.
That tree still stands to this day.
