One of the tackiest things I've ever seen was a man at a weekday (Latin) mass, wearing a tank top, shorts and flip flops. During the consecration he kicked off the flip flops and started picking his feet. I was facing him and I had to sit somewhere else when I came back from receiving communion because I was so distracted.
Oh my! LOL
I bet there are a lot of stories out there about “you should have seen...” at Mass. On the other hand, maybe there’s a reason (unknown only to God!) of why they’re there doing what they do!
God bless.
**I always ask my children...”If Jesus or Mary appeared right now, would you feel embarrased by what you’re wearing?” Seems to have worked well, my 17 yo daughter has never gone in for the slut look and my son always tries to dress appropriately.**
Good question. It looks like you are doing an great job as a parent! If only more parents would ask that!!
