The harsh reality of temple clothing measurements

The temple is the real world, and the real world is fantasy. How do I know?

My waist measures 35 inches. If I rent clothing at the temple, I do not fit into a 34-inch waist. I need to rent a 36-inch waist, which will fit well.

We are about to do our Christmas pictures, and my wife bought me some new trousers. She bought me a 33-inch waist. I said: “no way will they fit — I need a 35.” She said: “well, try them on.” I tried them on, and they fit perfectly.

So, in the real world, clothing manufacturers create a fantasy. That fantasy is that you can get older and fatter and still wear the same size clothing. The last time I was really a 33-inch waist was in college 25 years ago.

In the temple, the fantasy ends. You must face the reality of your expanding waist-line. Truth will prevail.
