I like to comb my hair before I go to bed in case I meet my Maker.
I put on clean underwear before I go out in case I get hit by a truck or tram and end up in hospital. You want to look yr best.
Mum taught me these things.
Always repent to God yr sins before you go to sleep. Whiteness of soul is as important as whiteness of underwear.
An idle mind is the devil’s workshop, mum emphasised. She needn’t have worried. My mind was always busy.
But if she knew what I was thinking she would have washed my dirty little teenage mind out with soap.

On January 1st, maybe you need to make a new resolution or two.
Hi John. See ya.

I hope you polish your shoes every day, and not just on Sundays.

actually James I’m a little slack on shoes but on underwear I’m right on it, thanks to mum and her strict Methodist upbringing 🙂

I’m not an ambulance person or a doctor or nurse, but I seriously doubt underwear is likely to be pristine and clean in the event of a person being hit by a truck or tram …

Lol. I don’t think mum thought that one through 🙂

Your mother was probably busy doing many other things instead, John.

Exactly, my thoughts. But you can’t teach mothers. They are too grown up for that.

Yes, from snot, to grot, is only a short step, and then most of us eventually ‘get the plot’.
