LOL! Once my parents realized their attempt to instill a day-long Sabbath reverence into their rambunctious children by forcing them to wear their Sunday clothes all day was resulting in a lot of expense to replace ripped dresses and grass stained shirts, with no appreciable difference in their childrens’ Sunday demeanor, we were let off the hook.

Mark B,
Now now, this is a PG-13 rated blog (because the Prophet says no R-rated blogs), you better keep those jokes for your Sunday meetings.

My question is, if you are spending some “quality time” with your spouse on a Sunday afternoon, do you keep your white shirt and tie on? Or just your Sunday socks?

“The metal folding chairs we provide for them to sit on also contribute to the overall wonderful spirit in our home.”

So that’s what I’m missing…

Anybody willing to join me in only wearing church clothes all day on Sundays?

Nope. I wear a football jersey (usually Colts or Bengals), and a pear of sweatpants.

But I do leave my Sunday socks on!

Also, I hear that the Lou Midgley Fondue Foundation are just a bunch of cheese-heads.

Good to hear there are some Green Bay Packers fans over in that group. They could use it.

Being aware of the post Rusty was paroding, I was going to suggest that there not be a disclaimer just to see what people thought and what kind of comments there would be. But I guess that is the result of living in a post-bannergate bloggernacle. :)

Yes, thanks for the disclaimer. My satire radar is apparently down, as your post was starting to give me a stomach ache. You sounded just like my sister-in-law, who unfortunately, is not joking. Poor kids.

Boy, I’m glad you included the disclaimer at the end. Since I’m fairly new to the realm, I thought, “whew, this guy puts a little too much starch in his shirts.” Actually, I feel a little sheepish that I fell into the trap.

I pretty much wear pajamas if I’m home. I never made my kids dress up all day. I think that’s just unnecessary and will probably give your kids one more unimportant thing to rebel against.

On the other hand, I had an epiphany yesterday. My 23 year old nephew is staying with us (with his python, no less). He’s a nice kid, clean cut and well behaved. I was thinking that I might not let my other nephew stay with me. He has tattoos and a long goatee and a bald head. He’s a really nice kid, too.

So appearance counts. Even if we don’t want it to.

Do I contradict myself? I say again, “very well, then…”

I heard Madonna’s next childrens book is about a little boy who wears street clothes on Sunday.
