Talking to the wrong people

In today's society, it is regrettably common to see a young lady--even one of faith--wearing attire that doesn't leave a lot to the imagination.  One wonders how one can reach out to the young lady without getting a really nasty reaction.

Well, thanks to 4-H, I've got a possibility, and it doesn't involve saying a word beyond "Hello" or "How are you doing?" to the young lady in question.  You see, in 4-H, you meet not only the young ones, but also their parents, and I've noticed an interesting correlation.  If a young lady's clothes are revealing, so are her mother's.  So we would then have a talk with the mother, right?

Nope, think again.  Why does Mom dress that way?  Could be habit, or.....it could be that that's how she gets Dad's attention.  So what you might do, if you really want to help sisters in Christ be modest, is pray that you get a chance to talk with Dad.   If Mom and daughters get attention from Dad only when their bodice line goes down and their hemlines go up, guess where those lines will go?  If, on the other hand, Dad appreciates them with a little more coverage.....

......and quite frankly, Dad's probably concerned about what his daughters are wearing already, and might be glad to learn how he can be part of the solution without anyone ever catching on.  Unless they're one of my 12 readers, of course.  :^)
