Pockets

I never knew why there were pockets on aprons.  I mean really, who ever stuck a gooey spatula in their apron pocket for safe keeping while cooking?  I figured pockets were a poor attempt at accessorizing the apron, and never added them to any aprons I sewed. 

Well....one night while cooking dinner, I remembered I'd seen a few ripe green beans earlier that day in the garden.  So I rushed out to the front yard, in my apron, to pick a few to add to the veggies I was cooking.  Once out there, I found that there was more than the handful I was expecting!  I was about to go back in for a bowl when I remembered my apron had one of those silly accessories.  :)  So I started shoving green beans in my pocket and the light bulb went off!  AHA!  Pockets on aprons weren't for the cooking wife, they were for the HOMESTEADING wife!  Now I want pockets on all my aprons.  BIG pockets.  And.....I feel quite silly for never understanding the apron pocket before.  :)
