Pajamas

I was with one of my groups yesterday. Somehow, after my lesson, the conversation changed to memories of childhood. (This actually happens, regularly). A gentleman who usually never discusses anything personal, told this story. When he was a boy, his family did not have much. For an entire year, he pestered his parents. He kept asking for a "Roy Rogers" cowboy outfit, not really expecting to get it, though the reward for trying might be worth the effort. Christmas morning arrives. He rushes downstairs and waits, finally it is his turn! He rips open his one and only gift. YES! Roy Rogers. Wait... they are pajamas! Never mind, he threw on the "special" pajamas and played all day in them. The next day, he had to go to school, he begged his Mother to let him wear his Roy Rogers pajamas. She patiently explained, that it would not be proper to wear pajamas to school. So he got dressed, hopped on the wagon and went to school. Much to his surprise, several other boys received those same pajamas and were wearing them to school! Maybe Roy Rogers was more "special", at home.
