Having a little girl by the name of Juliet around the house is a guarantee that I will never be lacking in humility. This was our conversation last night before she climbed into her bed (all said in a serious, earnest voice).
Jules - "Mom, PLEASE, please, could you not wear your robe tomorrow morning?"
Me - "Why not?"
Jules - "Mom, really, you look so awful in it. Please, mom! When you get up in the morning, just brush your hair, and put normal clothes on. I mean, your hair looks so awful down, and your robe..."
By this time I was slightly miffed, ha ha! I have been told that the first thing a person ought to do when they get out of bed is to dress themselves (in "normal" clothes)! In theory that sounds great but the reality for me is that that rarely happens. Most mornings you will find me in my beloved whitish grey robe getting Jules ready for school, making breakfast, etc. Then I finally become so disgusted with myself, it's off to our bedroom to get some normal clothes on... How about you?
