SO Obvious-but So Excepted

Here is THE question:  Would You wear your bra and underwear (with a pair of flip-flops)  to your local supermarket?  Or a movie theater?  No?…how about just for a walk around the block then. . .?

Would you let your daughter?

Then why is it so widely accepted for everyone, big, little, young - old, atheistic or Christian to wear a bikini, not to mention the decreasing size of them--out in the open.  You know. . . as long as  a pool or beach are near by.  Or a sprinkler.  Maybe...just the sun.   Well there is the volleyball net too.  I'm saying this is one of the most obvious things ever but somehow accepted just because it is called a swim suit,  oh yea, and, like made of nylon and spandex or something, instead of oh wait... nylon and spandex.  Perhaps the percentages are different then.

Scary question for me to ask, because it is an unpopular thought.  But many of my thoughts are.  And you will notice that I snuck this in Before swimsuit time so no one can think I am personally accusing them.  I shake my finger at no one (except myself!). See I do have a bit of smart.

But truly why as a society is this so widely ok?  It is not ok.  It’s bad enough having adult women walking around nearly naked, but add to it little girls, pre-teens . Seemingly everybody.  Now I will say just a few years ago I too wore one too-cause its ok-right?  That’s what I learned.  And besides if everyone else has one don’t I need to give my husband something to look at??  No ~ that is- Not in public;)  I am for his eyes, I will preserve myself for his eyes.  He is the only man whose eyes I want to please.  And I will choose to do that not in the open.  Unless we are stranded on some sandy tropical beach--then I definitely will.

Modesty -OH shoot did I actually say that word.  What a terrible word.  Seriously when did modesty become so obscure.  I choose to continue to learn it, and teach it to my daughter.  Speaking of daughter, my hope is that she finds (in a few years) a lovely young man who will love her for who she is, for her personality first…the rest is just a bonus.  But if all the -goodies- are hanging out how will any young man be able to pay attention to her words and personality?

I will say no to the bikini.  Will you join me?
