To most people, aprons are mainly good for protecting your clothes while cooking or working. However, there are multiple uses for aprons.  Try using your apron to:

• Pick up hot dishes
• Wipe away your grandchildren’s tears
• Dry the inside of a freshly washed mug
• Carry in eggs from the henhouse
• Warm your arms when the house is drafty
• Dust the furniture
• Wipe up spills
• Let the children run and hide underneath it
• Carry freshed vegetables from the garden
• Make people laugh (funny aprons are great for this)

One lady even told a funny story about how when she was newly married, she and her husband lived on a small farm.  They had a few goats, one of whom was a little obnoxious. This goat was always following her around and bumping in to her. She always had to dodge that annoying billy goat, until  one day her apron came to the rescue.

She was so frustrated at that goat that she actually ripped her apron off and threw it on his head. He was so confused, that she was able to rush out to the garden and pick her vegetables before the goat knew what hit him. Her little trick never ceased to work on that dumb goat, and she had her apron to thank for getting her work done every day.
