Bad Words and Modest is Ugly

My sweet Eyrlin. I should be writing more about my boys, but I could not resist the day I had with her yesterday.

Scene: Eyrlin got some clothes from her cousin and wanted to wear one of the tank top dresses.

Me - "You can wear that dress but you will have to wear something under it or a little sweater over it."
Eyrlin - "Why?"
Me - "I want you to be modest. Your body is beautiful and special and we want to make sure it's covered up."
Eyrlin - "So, modest is ugly?"

Scene: In the car heading home from my sisters.

Eyrlin - "I hurt my butt."
John - "I don't want to hear words like that from you."
Eyrlin - "Because butt is a bad word."
Me - "YES, do not say that word."
Eyrlin - "Yeah mom, we don't want to say butt so we cover it up with underwear, huh?"

She is only 3. What is 16 gonna look like?
