During my preparation time, I realized that my Oaths are serious, not just words spoken to get what I want, well, sorta, but what I want requires integrity.
I must never view pirated material again, if it just effects me I'm okay with it, but my children really love to play several games on the wii and the DS that I cannot afford, but they, too are reasonible, and if I just explain myself wholy to them, they will understand.
It is funny. I told Lena that I had almost a single purpose to learning all I could, I wanted to be able to answer every question and never say "Just because" I explained to her that most times I think others could have told me why but they didn't have the patience, it frustrated me so much. Then When I told her to turn off the TV to get ready to leave (cause soon her father would be here to pick her up), she asked, "Why?" . I didn't bother answering her. Then she said, "Well, you're doing it right now. If you hate it so much why don't you just answer me." d'oh! So, repirmanded, I did explain it to her and she obeyed me. I explained that knowing why was not a requitiste for obedience, though, just a courtsey.
