Trigger warning (please don’t drop your laptop or phone and run away screaming.) I’m about to mention the “M-word”: Modesty.
As a mom of two daughters, modesty has been a regular topic of conversation since they were about a year old and we had to buy their first swimsuit. Now I find it continues on an annual cycle. “What about this dress for Homecoming? Christmas? Prom?” “How about these shorts for Youthcamp or this uniform for cross country or track?” “Can I wear this to school?” And before you know it, they are asking the same thing about bridesmaids and wedding dresses.
