Dress Code

My husband and I decided to take our teenage daughter to a shopping outlet in nearby New Hampshire one weekend. As we were getting ready to go, Heather came downstairs dressed in short shorts and a spaghetti string top.
An anticipated fight broke out between her and my husband over her inappropoiate attire. In order to keep the peace, I stepped in, and reminded my husband when we were young I dressed the same way, it was the style.
He said, " Yeah! Well if you remember right I had something to say about that too !"
"Yes dear", I said, "you did.....you asked me for my phone number!"
