You get up early on Sunday so you can get the kids all gussied up in their best clothes for Sunday school and church. Then you get into your own Sunday best, which starts with the hated girdle with the garters that dig into your thighs, the nylon stockings with a seam down the back that you much keep checking, because they tend to twist, then the scratchy crinolines to make your dress pouf out just so. Next, the makeup and making sure not a hair is out of place. You step into high heels that make your toes scream for mercy, don your perfect little hat that matches your shoes and the snow white gloves, and you are ready to go.
