Has anybody else felt like this was a fundamental continuity oversight in the Danish folktale by Hans Christian Andersen? ![]()
I mean, even wanting to appear smarter yourself shouldn't rob you of all dignity toward the incompetent fellows in town...
What if the swindlers had thought of this early on? Then there would be no The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Anderson! ![]()
It was back to the drawing board for the tailor when he realized the emperor wouldn't want new clothes that exposed him to any strangers.

Whoda thunk it?
I would never have imagined Timby capable of such deep thought. Aside from the loss of an important piece in the body of children's classic literature, the ramifications are staggering. Why, what would become of Contradictionary if Timby started thinking on a regular basis?!
Great job, Quartz. Thanks!
We should take our comfort from God's word, not from the circumstances of our lives.
hehehe
That's great

Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
I don't care what the devil's gonna do!
The Word and faith is my sword and shield
And Jesus is Lord of the way I feel!
Oopsie
I misspelled "tailor."
Oh well... 
Thanks everybody, I'm glad you enjoy it!
Don't worry SangMing, Timby won't get into the habbit anytime soon...

Ya know...
I actually did think of that aspect of the story, back when I was little. And I decided it wasn't important and I liked the story anyway. I also like the face Timby's making. He doesn't look like he's ready to make thinking a habit.
Everything looks perfect from far away.
Aha
Fixed!

Mean to say
He don't look wise.

What a great perspective!
God gave us music, that we might pray without words
