on child nudity
Jul. 27th, 2010 09:34 pmmr. flea asked me this morning if when I was a kid, my siblings and I were naked as often as our kids are.
I pointed out that we live in Georgia, and when I was Casper's age I lived in Maine, so temperature alone inclines my kids to nudity. (They have been sleeping naked a lot.)
But even in Maine, we had a post-bath ritual called Naked Olympics, and one of the darlingest photos of my siblings has an under-two year old brother brushing his teeth bottomless, while sister is topless. I guess nudity is kind of a cultural thing in my family.
(Needless to say, mr. flea's family are NOT Naked People.)
