This is for the grown-and-responsible, and for the ones who need the reminder read out loud.

“Goeth raw” is the euphemism; “child support” is the consequence — the joke lands because the math is real.

The biblical grammar is the delivery system: ancient authority, modern accountability.

Wearers preach responsibility with a punchline — laugh now, plan always.
