Pound Foolish

This past Christmas, my friend bought her 7-year-old nephew this t-shirt:


He is a big SpongeBob SquarePants fan, so she knew he'd be delighted with it. 

What she did not expect was how much she'd be delighted with it, because when the child opened it, his father (her brother) exclaimed excitedly, "Awww...they're number bros!"

He was not trying to be funny -- he had not seen a hashtag before and had no idea what this meant (#livesunderarock). And also apparently thought that "number bros" was a thing (#confused).

(Aside: "Gretchen, stop trying to make number bros happen. It's not going to happen.")
