While sitting around a table at a local restaurant with my three teens and talking about their day, their friends, and their pet peeves, the youngest asked why I wasn't wearing a particular black tank top under the blouse I had on (I chose a white t-shirt instead). "Because that tank top is kinda low and I didn't want to be tugging it up the whole time while sitting across from my sons and giving them a show," I replied.
She rolled her eyes a bit and the boys muttered a Thanks, Mom to which I couldn't help add (with a wink), "Now if I was sitting across the table from your dad, I would definitely be wearing that top." The table went quiet for a split second with three young mouths hanging open before they all let forth a collective groan.
"Yeah, I could have went through my entire day without that," stated the oldest.
"Gee, Mom, uh... yeah, that is not a pleasant picture," stuttered the middle.
"Really, Mom? Really?" moaned the youngest.
Apparently the thought of their dad appreciating the attributes of their mom was a little too much for them. Who knew? =)

My daughter was having one of those "Mom moments" with her 12 year old this week, as the 12 year old had decided Mom needed to know the Seven Levels of Dating. My daughter listened and then advised her that their family's belief was that Step two, kissing, was as far as DGD ought to go outside of marriage. DGD said with disgust: You mean you and dad DO all that other stuff?
Cracked me up.
