Really?

[ithildin]

Am I just seriously out of touch with the modern world? I was waiting for my mum in the doctor's office lobby, and this girl exits the elevator with her mom and little sister. Typical emo teen sorta kid. She's wearing a way too large red t-shirt, that hangs down past her butt, but she has the front tucked in under her belt buckle -- a huge rhinestone belt buckle that says 'BITCH'. I was a little nonplussed to say the least. Is this a common fashion for teenage girls? Seriously?

*laughs* Well, you know what they say. You know you're getting old when teenage fashions shock you. I remember how shocked parents were by the Beatles haircut and mini-skirts!

But the word BITCH on a belt is in really bad taste. It just shows how each generation has to find their own *shocking* fashion sense.

Try not to be too hard on mom. I suspect she looked at risk and benefits and realized it wasn't a fight they needed to have. They may have much deeper struggles she has to save the big fights for.
