I must have gone wrong somewhere
I am sitting here planning for my lesson tomorrow and listening to the conversations going on in the other room. I don't know why they are discussing the smoothness of clothing, but they are. As I listen to the conversation, I am realizing that I must have gone wrong somewhere.
The Queen is speaking to her Queen Mother. Princess is reading a book. The boys are in and out of the house. Most of the time is spent in the backyard in anticipation of friends showing up. Thus far, only two have arrived, there is hope for more. We will see.
Anyway, there seems to be some debate as to why we would want to keep our clothes smooth. I have worked diligently to impress upon the boys the need to smooth their shirts before participating in the Sacrament. I always find it interesting that they will smooth a shirt before a dance, special day at school, or the desire to impress a young lady, but we have to fight them to smooth their shirts for church.
For whatever reason, the Queen and her mother are discussing how challenging it is to smooth clothing, but the necessity of it is important. It was at this time that the Princess chimes in and says, "When I get married, if my Prince wants to have smooth shirts, he will have to do it himself, because I don't smooth clothing!" What? She does not smooth clothing?
Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting that she be responsible for smoothing her Prince's clothing, but there is a time and place for smoothness. Why do we use Thee, Thy, Thine, and Thou in a prayer. It is out of respect. Smoothing your clothing is the same. It is an outward expression of respect for the function you are attending.
Will they get wrinkled? Yes. When you where your clothing, will they get dirty? Yes. Does that mean we don't wash them? If the boys were here they would be arguing that there is no reason to clean their rooms since it is just going to get dirty again. There is no reason to make your bed, comb your hair, brush your teeth, or wash your body. They are just going to get dirty again.
There is value and necessity of smoothing your clothes. I hope I am understood.
