Went shopping with Sam today to pick out some spring/summer clothes. She asks me, "Mom, can I get some shorty shorts?" I ask her, "Well, what are shorty shorts?; you'll have to show me." She does and I'm thinking I'm not too sure about the looks of these. I tell her we'll try them on and see.
1. She tries them on.
2. I say that I think these are too short for my taste
3. She asks "why?"
4. I say they're a little too "fresh".
5. "What does "fresh" mean?, she asks.
6. I say they're a little too revealing.
7. "What does "revealing" mean?"
8. I say they show too much skin and they're not appropriate for her age.
9. "What makes clothing appropriate?", she asks.10. "Not showing too much skin", I say.
11. "Ok", she replies. "I don't get it but if it makes you happy, that's fine."
Whew! Ignorance is bliss. It's only gonna get harder from here . . .
