Back to the Kids

So much blogging lately has been about Bible studies and sermons.  Important stuff, but time for a brief change of pace.   On Saturday we were working on "moving in" to the house we've been living in since November.  Why we're still unpacking is a long story and not really cogent.  

So my wife is putting things away and comes across a plastic tub of clothing that belonged to the Older Sister and was saved for the Younger Sister.  It was a nice trip down memory lane to the not-so-distant past of my teenager's childhood.  In the tub were some cute dresses, various outfits, and a jacket that I loved on the Older Sister because it looks like Joseph's "Coat of Many Colors."  

And some training bras.

Of course they needed explanation, which the Younger Sister took in rather stoically.  They went through the box trying various clothes on to see what fit, packing away for later the clothes that were "too big," piling what was "too small," and putting on hangers what was "just right."

Finished at last, her mom starts putting the "save for later" stuff back in the tub and the Younger Sister asks, "When will I need to wear those practice bras?"
