Not sure if this is the right place but it looked like the best place for it. We went to WDW last week and went to DHS 20 May and then again the following Sunday morning before driving back home. Anyway, when we came out of Star Tours, we saw the Darth Tater shirt hanging on the rack. We busted up laughing because it is perfect for our son. DS10's name is Taylor, however, his nickname is Tater Gator. Here's the story behind it.

When we found out my wife was pregnant with him, my parents told my grandma that we were going to have a baby. Grandma was in the early stages of Alzheimer's at that point and also hard of hearing. When my mom told her we were going to name him Taylor, she thought she said Tater. She said "they're not going to name that boy Tater are they?" The next week when mom and dad visited her, they told her again and this time she thought mom said Gator. Hence, the nickname Tater Gator. DS is not overly fond of it, however.

I wanted to buy it for him but flat refused to wear it. So, I bought it for me instead! ;) Can't wait to wear it sometime!
 
When we were there in December my husband bought one for himself to wear because our daughter's name is Taylor and we call her Tator Tot. :rotfl2: We always joked with her since she was little. We called her "Taylor Tot", "Sweet PaTaylor Pie", "The Tot", and it evolved into "Tator Tot".
 
LOL!!!!! You mean this one?

Grafxgirl is my wife and she is absolutely correct in her story about DD8 named Taylor and my motivation for buying the shirt. Since she was old enough to crawl she has had the nickname Tater Tot. As she has gotten older it has taken on a life of it's own and at times been Sweet PoTaylor Pie, The Tot, Tater Tot, and so on. Two years ago when we were dining at Les Chefs de France in EPCOT she became "French Fry" for the night. Last year when she turned 8 I told her that she was no longer a Tater Tot and has graduated to "Hash Brown," which she did not like. I've even joked with her and told her that when she gets older and goes to college she had better not turn into a Baked Tater :hippie:.... LOL. (I don't think she quite gets that one yet) However, I have already decided that when she turns 16 she will have a personalized license plate on her car that says "TATERTOT."
