That was the question asked to me today by my twelve year old daughter on the way to church. I didn't really have an answer other than the fact that I don't own any dresses. I even got married in pants, but that is another story all in itself. So I started thinking, how am I going to raise a young lady, when her mother lives in capris.
Then tonight I came across a blog with the quiz How Girly Are You. I took the quiz and I scored a 12 percent, which basically means I am a boy! That is terrible. How can I expect my girls to grow into young ladies if I am their biggest influence and I don't own a dress. I am not saying that wearing dresses automatically means you are more ladylike, but maybe a step in the right direction.
So now I am off to bed, to ponder whether or not to buy a dress tomorrow when I am shopping in town.
Maybe my husband can comment on this one, he has never complained about my lack of dress wearing, but he isn't a big complainer so who knows! |
