Give us some honesty here. WHY were the skirts short?
We all know that it was precisely so the boys, well a certain particular boy, would look.
Of course it was. :-) I admit it 100% honestly. The girls all wanted to be noticed by the boys. It was normal hormonal teenage stuff. Not necessary right, but normal. We never considered the boys bad or perverts. The difference then from now is that the girls knew what they were doing and most accepted responsibility for it, unlike what we see today. Today most girls want the attention but when they get it and get caught they want to destroy the boy. As strict as my parents were, my Dad ordered Mom to lower my hems and I sat up part of the night putting them back up. I wanted to look like the other girls without crossing any moral boundaries. I was too afraid of Dad to do anything to get myself in that kind of trouble.
I’m so glad I didn’t have boys to worry about. I had one girl that would rather ride horses than boys and would rather drive a tractor than a car. LOL
