This article was not just delightful to read but very profound for our day and age. Too many people today talk about fairness but what they really mean is they want things their way. Life isn't suppose to be fair. We are suppose to learn to react to the unfairness as Jesus would. I hope the kids enjoyed the candy cane in spite of the tears.

An additional aspect of women's past reality is caring for the sick. When I read Lucy Hale Smith's book about Joseph Smith, I was surprised at how much time she spent caring for people who were ill. When I was a child in the late 50's, early 60's, there was always a kid out with measles, mumps, or chicken pox. Every mother dreaded the possibility of their child getting polio. There were people in iron lungs, and at least two people in my school with braces on their legs because of polio. Vaccination has changed the playing field for women in a big way.
