Cleavage

Shopping for flowers today, to plant in the garden, a mother/daughter duo entered the greenhouse. The daughter looked to be about 15. She was dressed modestly in a blue tee shirt and jean shorts of reasonable length.

Her mom followed her. She was wearing a black tank top with the sequin word “star" glittering across her chest. Even before you saw what was written on the shirt, you couldn’t help but see the cleavage. She was spilling out.

It is difficult these days for kids to grow up. How does a girl feel when her mother looks sexier than she does? Does it impact her self esteem in some way? The daughter didn’t appear bothered, but it seemed backwards to me. I have seen mother/daughters where the mom is continuing to badger the daughter to cover up. In this case mom was attempting to catch the male eye, and the daughter followed her around dutifully.

Who knows, maybe purity will be the issue that children fall back on. “I do not want to be like my parent," as they cover up from head to toe. It just may be a difficult if the mom attracts all the guys.

Maybe the daughter realized from what she has witnessed, that males who come around because of cleavage, might only be interested in one thing.
