Are
you seriously that stupid? Are
you the sole arbiter of good taste and appropriateness? Ann Landers, Miss Manners and Dear Abbey all rolled up into one? Do you ever go outside of your house? That picture is tame compared to what you can see at the mall, the beach, etc.
Is it just the fact that it's a bedsheet that bothers you? What if it was a beach towel?
I think the
real problem is that, to you, a bedsheet is linked to sex and that picture turned you on. Now you feel guilty and your guilt is what's feeding your moral outrage.
Would you let your daughter go to the beach in her underwear? Now, what is the
real difference between most bikinis and most underwear? Just what we call it really.
What's the difference between a bedsheet and a prom dress?
The difference is that girls, your daughter included, will spend more time wearing bedsheets than dresses on prom night.
You are aware that,
whatever your daughter is wearing, she's going to be nude under it? Oh, wait; that awareness is part of the guilt that's feeding your moral outrage, isn't it?
