And just for an additional piece of info. I was not the first to see my daughter in that outfit that afternoon. Before I even got into the gym, another father came up and commented to me how lovely Jocelyn looked but how different from what she normally wore. And she did look lovely, very hip, but not acceptable. And I think she wanted to have a new outfit for EVERY day of that school year. Also, I did not know she didn't like the mustard yellow sweater til today. Oh to be as wise as Nanny McPhee every day.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300961190388848899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-75996042339481474032011-10-31T12:26:02.697-04:002011-10-31T12:26:02.697-04:00We try and make the consequence fit the offense, s...We try and make the consequence fit the offense, so I know how hard it is to be creative about it.

We had a young mother at church yesterday who was so inappropriately dressed that I felt bad for her. It is so sad that some women feel like they have to 'show it all off' to get any attention.
