The printed line jokes that raising kids is like keeping a set of permanently broke friends who are convinced you are rich, and it lands hardest with anyone currently funding a teenager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize And Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt holds 11oz, which is a large filter coffee or a generous tea rather than an espresso cup. The glaze is smooth all the way round, so the handle stays comfortable in a full grip instead of a two-finger pinch, and the wording is set large enough to read from the other side of a kitchen table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works as a desk mug or a small gift for a parent with a sense of humor about the cost of family life. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is not a children's mug\u003c\/strong\u003e — the joke is aimed at adults and the capacity is adult-sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic body with a printed design on one face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand washing keeps a printed mug sharp far longer than a dishwasher cycle does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size only, 11oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Printed Typo, And Who It Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe printed word looks misspelled — is that deliberate?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The artwork carries a genuine slip: the word \u003cem\u003efriends\u003c\/em\u003e is printed as \u003cem\u003efrirnds\u003c\/em\u003e.
