Growing up in the country, we had to find our own fun—and June bugs were part of it. We’d let them crawl on our hands, build them little houses to “play” in, and carry them around on our fingers. To us, June bugs were friends.
Every now and then, my grandmother would loosely tie a length of sewing thread around one and let it buzz and fly around with us. The June bug wasn’t hurt, and plenty of them managed to wiggle right out of the string. If they didn’t, we always turned them loose when we were finished playing.
It was something country kids had been doing for generations, and it helped inspire old sayings like “crazier than a June bug on a string” and “wilder than a June bug on a string”—a colorful way of describing someone who was acting a little crazy, getting into mischief, or simply having way too much fun.
The Crazy as a June Bug on a String Graphic Tee is a little piece of that old-fashioned country childhood, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. It’s perfect for country folks, Southern souls, nature lovers, or anyone who has ever been accused of being just a little bit wild.
And if you actually remember putting a June bug on a string, this shirt might bring back a memory or two.
