Orange is not the only fruit

when starting this book, we are introduced by Jeannette to her life. She describes her family, her mother, for example, a woman who is focused on religion. She believes in the bible more than anything. Makes her daughter answer questions regarding things in the bible so that in church when the pastor would ask these questions she can get it right. This is very amusing to Jeanette because she doesn't understand why its so important.

The one thing that interested me was the fairy tale about how the prince wanted a perfect flawless girl. Jeanette is obviously telling the story (Oranges...) and we know that the author Jeanette is the girl Jeanette in the book, so it was interesting to me to why Jeanette would bring this fairy tale in. To make the story short, the prince found a girl who was perfect, but she said she was not perfect but flawless. 

To me this doesn't make sense. How can one be flawless and not perfect. Flawless means that a person has no bad things in them, so the clearer definition of perfect no ? It kinda of got me wondering and i came up to a conclusion that the church that Jeannette and her mother are associated with, to me, feel like they want perfection, and i felt that Jeanette brought this story up to show that there is no such thing as perfect
