Modesty at Five

Maddie was bringing me Polly pocket dolls today to dress. Those suckers are tight and hard to manage. At one point she brought me this pink shirt.

Thinking it was a pretty skanky shirt for anyone to wear I decided to put it on backward so it would be modest and she wouldn't notice or care. Wrong. She brought it straight back to me telling me it was backwards. Bummer. So I fixed it but not until I asked her if she would ever wear something like that. She confirmed that no she wouldn't but not without adding,"but I wish there was no such thing as the word modesty." Living a virtuous life isn't easy. Even when you are five years old.
