“Mom, can we get a dog?”

No.

“Mom, can we get a rooster?”

Heck, no.

“Mom, can we get a moose with wings?”

Um …

That’s the thing about your little guy. He’s not afraid to ask. And, no matter how absurd the request, you invariably feel guilty about having to say no.

At least you can offer some consolation with Chandi’s animal-design T-shirts. The line features a variety of your little animal lover’s favorite beasts (roosters, owls, horseshoe crabs) on a navy, red, or black background. For the especially imaginative child (ring a bell?), there are even a few kooky species combos: Check out the tiger snake, the rabbit lion, and, yes, the winged moose.

All of the creations begin as plain American Apparel tees. The images are transferred by a process of discharge printing, which leaves no ink, only a soft etching that can withstand many, many washings.

So the shirts may very well be the one thing you’ll both agree on.

Until he convinces you that a moose really can fly.
