Big Shirt
Once my mom took me shopping and she stopped and picked a big shirt
off the rack and handed it to me. I held it up against me and looked
at her like she was nuts. She started laughing and explained that she
wasn?t expecting me to wear it to school, but instead I should have it
for sleeping. She said that everyone should have one big shirt to wear
to bed each night, and that this is far more comfortable to sleep in
than pajamas. She put a few in the cart for me, and I have slept in
one ever since. She was right!
I would give the same advice to my friends, and I will tell my
daughter that some thing one day. In fact, she already sleeps in a big
shirt some nights, and it is because I want her to be comfortable.
Pajamas are good, but they can sometimes be constrictive when you are
sleeping at night. You don?t have to worry much about a big shirt
binding up your legs when you move, and they are far sturdier than
most of the nighties that I have had. I don?t know about you, but I
move around all night while sleeping and I don?t want clothing getting
in the way.
Another great thing about a big shirt is that you don?t have to pay a
lot for them. You can get some for just a few bucks. They aren?t meant
to be fashionable, but you can find some that are good enough. If you
buy a big shirt in a plain color, you don?t have to worry about it.
Your big shirt doesn?t have to be too big, but make sure you have room
to move around comfortably without having to rearrange your clothing
when you roll over at night.
There are times when you won?t want to wear a big shirt to bed though.
You have to remember that your husband might want to see you in
something else once in a while, and there is nothing wrong with that.
The big shirt might be something that helps you sleep better, but on
occasion break out something a little less comfortable to keep him
happy. You can always get up in the middle of the night to change if
you need to, but do something to keep the romance alive once in a
while. Just make sure he does the same for you.
