I Want A Sister-Wife.

Ok, maybe not WANT, but I sure could use and appreciate one.

I have had a longstanding fascination with the Mormon church and the Polygamist groups.

I know they are not one in the same.....

A few years ago I read a few books on the subject, starting with the beginning of the Mormon teaching and the spin-off into the polygamist groups.

I am not going to get into the details of the religion.

I am no expert, nor do I ever criticize others beliefs.

I have just always been very interested in learning of different cultures within different beliefs....it is quite fascinating to me.

Plus, I love the show Big Love.

Yes, didn't you know it would come down to that?

The whole sister-wife dynamic seems pretty organized. And I love organized!!

They share household duties. They help raise all the children. (think of the carpooling possibilities) They share incomes.

And obviously, they share a husband. I am not going to even think about that part.

That is just yucky.

Really, I am focused on having some help around this house.
yes, I could use a sister-wife; or two.

But, they can't look like this:

They are the true fashion victims of our country.

Really, what is up with the big pop-over bangs?

Are they hiding canned goods in there?

Or perhaps that is where they keep their People magazines?

You know, so they can keep up with important outside news.

I certainly am NOT down with all that.
And the clothes? HUH?

I suppose you can eat as many cookies as you want if you wear nondescript dresses....

But hey, I can't roll like that. Not in this century.

So, I suppose I will have to state my conditions for anyone wanting to join my cult family:

No to the big-bad hair.
No to the oversized bad clothes.
They must be motivated to clean.
They must cook well.
They must not sleep in my bed.

Just think of all the time I would have to exercise if I just had some help around here...

And have you EVER heard of this:

Polyandry: one woman married to several men.

Really, who came up with that?
