New Panties and the preacher 09/29/2011
It's Sunday, the day of the week that Helen looks forward to each week. She loves walking to the little white church building located around the corner from her apartment. It is her chance to be with adults and loves that her children are in Sunday School learning about Jesus! When she is at church, she can't help but think about Willie and wish he were there with her. Being a part of church has been important to the both of them ever since that revival years back. Since they had the children, it was even more important to them because they wanted to raise them in church. She did what she does everyday...woke up to some lively kids, fed them breakfast and got them dressed. Today was a little different for Sondra though, because she had new ruffle panties to wear. She was so excited when her mommy put them on her...she kept pulling her dress up over her face to show them off. Helen thought she better explain to her that she needed to keep her dress down when they got to church. She told her she knew how proud she was of her big girl panties, but that little girls just didn't put their dress up and show them off. They walked down the old dirt road to the church where you would soon hear Helen's soprano voice ring out on "Amazing Grace" and "Victory in Jesus". Helen decided to go in through the side door of the church and when she opened the door...Sondra darted out ahead of her. Helen couldn't catch up with her fast enough before she ran up to the preacher, Bro Parks, and said, "You wanna see my new drawers?" and raised her dress to show him and everyone around him - her brand new drawers! Well...they were new...and she was proud! Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved. Leave a Reply |  Author
