MODESTY MATTERS...AT ANY AGE

I spent most of Thursday preparing for a speaking engagement between classes. I was asked to travel to Crum, West Virginia to speak at a girl's retreat on self image, modesty and purity. I was walking down the hall of the school where I was teaching that day and I felt a "draft" in the back. I went to the restroom and realized that my skirt's slit had become a little larger. Here I am preparing to teach young girl's the importance of selecting modest clothing and my outfit did not fit the parameters. What could I do? I was too far away from home to change and did not have time to find a new skirt. I had an idea. I went to the secretary and asked if I could borrow her stapler. I then proceeded to the bathroom and stapled my slit. I had to do this twice that day...but a lesson was learned. No matter what our age, we are not immuned to making mistakes with our dress. The skirt will not be given away. Why would I want to pass it on to someone else when I don't feel it is a modest piece of clothing? It will be thrown away and replaced. I love to shop!!!
