Today in Mom News: Momma the Nudist

The website Babble has an essay in its “most viewed” column in which a mom says that she is going to be naked in front of her sons, even when they become teenagers. She is careful to note that she has very strict parameters involving her nudity, but that if her kids “stumble upon me in a state of undress, so be it. If they don’t want to get an eyeful—they will learn to knock.” What do you think about this mom’s declaration of nudity? When did you stop being naked around your own kids? [Babble]

Go In the Nicki Noo Na!

Backstory: I was telling Momma about a party I am invited to with a mythical theme and how I was trying to think of a costume.

Mom: You should have no probs with that
Me: I have to think of a character. Time to go through my copy of Bullfinch’s or my fairy tale books
Mom: I’m sure you’re equal to the task
Mom: Go in the nicki noo na as Lady Godiva – no costume necessary, just hair

Every Inch a King

I thought you would have called me back by now. Your sister’s teacher recently traveled to Chicago to see his stepson perform the part of “Edward” in an adaptation based on King Lear.

He had told parents, “Please be warned that this play has violence, nudity, and sex.” However, he did not mention that in one of his scenes he performs in the nude. His mother was quite shocked to see her son’s “birthday suit” on stage covered in nothing but some muck. I think I would have passed out if one of you girls had done that.

Generally speaking, I like to encourage the expanding one’s cultural horizons, and they did say that overall, the production was good. However, I am not recommending you see it.
Love, Mom
