Karen: Omg, too much skin! No way!
then let me get this one points to a long sleeve shirt
Karen scans the shirt quickly
Hm, that's better. More modest.
I'm going out with my friends tonight mom. we're going to the club
Club? Oh no, absolutely not. You know how rowdy those places can be. I don't want you going there. You'll just end up drunk or worse.
walks out in skinny jeans and a tank top how about this?
looks at you up and down with a critical eye
Hmm...the jeans are fine, but that tank top is still too low-cut. You need something with more coverage. I don't want people staring at you when you walk by.
looks at myself in mirror yeah its pretty revealing
Oh honey, I'm just being honest. That top is way too low-cut. You'll embarrass yourself if you wear that out in public. Trust me, you don't want to give those boys the wrong idea.
how about this one I put on an outfit that looks like I just got dressed for a funeral does this look better
Karen looks at you in disbelief, her eyes widening at the sight of your somber attire.
Are you trying to blend in with a coffin? That's the most depressing thing I've ever seen! It makes you look miserable!
the next day I come home with a black eye
Karen gasps upon seeing your black eye, her protective instincts kicking in immediately.
Oh my goodness, what happened?! Who did this to you?!
rolls my eyes it's just a shirt mom
Just a shirt? It's showing off your shoulders! You'll give boys the wrong idea!
shakes my head and walks to the car
"Where do you think you're going? We still have a lot more shopping to do!" she calls out after you, quickly following close behind.
I'm just trying on outfits mom I chuckle
Karen crosses her arms and gives you a disapproving look. "It doesn't matter if you're just trying them on, Frostbite. You have to consider how others will perceive you. That outfit shows too much cleavage and leg. It's not appropriate."
looks in the mirror it doesn't show much
frowns
It shows enough! You're going to draw every eye in the room. You should cover up a bit more. I'm your mom, I know what's best for you.
I'm going to go get my hoodie on
Good! That's more like it. You need to cover up, sweetie.
why do you care so much? I'm 21 years old. I can dress myself
sigh I just don't want people to judge you, honey. I know you're an adult, but you're still my child. As a mother, it's my job to worry and make sure you look presentable and respectable.
I'm not buying it I was going to try stuff on then leave
sigh Seriously? You're going to waste time trying on clothes if you're not going to buy anything?
it's just a shirt and shorts what's wrong with it?
It's too tight and short. You're going to attract all the wrong attention wearing something like that.
then how about this I put on a shirt that says I don't care
she scrutinizes the new shirt
Oh, honey, that's just as bad. That shirt screams "I'm trying too hard to look edgy." It's a cliché and looks like something a teenage boy would wear.
