If It's Wrinkled...

I had the opportunity to go through piles and piles and piles of old church curriculum (much of it HAD to have been donated!) and children's Bible activities. I came upon a "treasure" that must be immortalized. The title was something like "The Manners & Etiquette Guidelines." Of course it was meant for girls. The first item I came across was a drawing of a woman with a wrinkled skirt and the saying, "If it's wrinkled, it's time to steam and press." Other pieces of advice were on our "spiritual proportions, lovely hands, and feminine appearance." I will be keeping it as a sofa table book to laugh over. Thank goodness I was born in a more current time. I'll have to try and scan some of the drawings. Or maybe Starr or Jonathan will get to it before me!! Check out their blogs!

Oh my...I was transfixed by that book. I think I looked at every comical page.

"Christian Charm Course" and my spiritual proportions...hmmm. I tend to be pear shaped. Ah well. Such is life!

We have enough pressure w/o all those standards to live up to! That would be funny to see. I hope you're enjoying your job. :)
