Sinful
Bet you haven’t seen anything this wack before!
I don’t think it’s wrong, sinful, for a girl baby to have a sleeper on.
BUT.
Of course there’s a but.
It’s not sinful if she’s just, like, a month.
But hey once she knows those things are PANTS –
That’s whOle other kettle of fish, my friend. Whole other.
Men wrap each leg. Women DO NOT. Are we clear? This is a rule straight from God, so don’t be getting it wrong, or you know what will happen.
Someone should perhaps mention that none of his desert sheepfucker predecessors wore pants.
How can that be? Surely Yahweh issued every male child with a lifetime supply of green denim trousers.
And churches wonder why people consider them antiquated!
I recall Garrison Keilor memorably skewering this one in Lake Wobegone Days. When his female relative appealed to the account of Jesus having been wrapped in swaddling clothes, she was admonished with the retort: “That doesn’t mean he wore a dress; they probably wrapped each leg separately”.
