Everett Wilson (my dad) and I. I think we may have been at Aunt Gladys’ house in their front yard.
I must smile at the bow tie.
I do not like bow ties. They look silly. The only people I know that wear them are lawyers. That says it all.
I have noticed my dad is not wearing one. I never knew him to do so. Never ever.
I never asked him why. I guess I should have.
I am thinking my dear sweet mother thought it was a clever idea. I do not have any other photos of me wearing one so it must have been a passing fad.
What is the point of all this?
Sometimes, many times, we do things we do not like.
- We learn from the exercise.
- We grow from it.
- We mature.
- We discover.
How does this tie into our Christian faith?
- Love Others. … particularly our parents.
- Be Humble. … God shows us how.
- Do the Right Thing. … respect authority.
- Manage Conflict With Respect. … give people the benefit of the doubt.
- Don’t Worry What People Think of You. … even if you have to wear a bow tie!
Love this, Michael! Great photo and practical advice!!!!

I think my brother and I hid ours and mom never found them.
Good illustration Michael. I’m doing something today I don’t like very much.

Love this and so timely! Sometimes we have to do what we dont want, eat what we don’t like, and go where we don’t want to go. Boq ties are for those who don’t know how to tie a real one.

It is good to love our parents. I remember wearing a bow tie when I was young. It might be because it was easier for my mother to help me put on.

That could be it. My dad taught me how to tie a real tie. I was able to teach my sons. A very useful skill! 🤣😊

Good one, Michael. My parents decked me out in a bow tie as well. Definitely a popular prop for young boys back then.
