Marty,
Have you been hanging around my house lately and I didn't notice? I just
went through ALL that with my teen daughters and stepdaughters. While the
19 and 16 year olds (mine) understand and embrace this concept of modest
dress, the 17 y.o. (his) and the 13 y.o. (mine) are into flaunting their
midsections. Although they know not to attempt to blatantly show bare
skin to church, they try to get it in under the radar by scooching their
pants and skirts down lower on their hips.

I had nearly given up when my 91 year old, nearly blind (but not THAT
blind) grandmother attended Mass with us one Sunday. She observed the 13
y.o. wearing a little too much skin and not quite enough fabric to cover
her backside and she said (quite loudly because she has some trouble
hearing, but not THAT much trouble hearing), "Hey Courtney, nobody wants
to see your crack!" This was very effective in making both the 13 AND the
17 year olds pull UP their pants quickly! LOL

The moral of this story is, when you can't win 'em over one way, there's
always another way...and your 91 year old grandmother probably knows one!
;)
