Actually it was yesterday. And not so pissed off as much as disappointed at a mother of a high school senior.

That poor girl, was going to a Senior Band Banquet. The mother and daughter came in together. Both of them dressed in jeans, tee's and ball caps. Stated more than once, that was all they wear, but Mother needed her daughter to wear a dress to her banquet.

They brought a dress in, which was purchased somewhere else. I thought the dress, at least, was young looking, not an old matronly looking one. I knew, right away, the daughter was very uncomfortable holding the dress, and just being in my store.

Found her a soft cup bra. Mother wanted to see everything on her. That poor girl, put it all on, dressing right over her jeans and tennis shoes. I asked her, how she felt... " the bra feels weird" is what she said. But I could read between the lines.
