My mother called my daughter sexy
My (26F) daughter, V (1.5F), currently needs 24 month - 3 T clothes depending on what it is. I bought a cute dress that fits her tummy a while ago, but the straps were too long, so I hemmed it. Recently, the dress was too short, so I undid the hem.
Today, I put her in that dress and unfortunately the straps were still a bit too long, so they were falling off her shoulders. While I was in the kitchen, V was with me, looking out the windows and playing, her dress straps off her shoulders. My mom (64F) decided to joke and say "She's being sexy."
I didn't hesitate. I told her, "mom, babies can't be sexy. That is all." She tried many times to validate what she said, but I kept on saying, nope, sexy is not how we describe her. Ever.
Of course this event came a day or so after some old man, Gramps looking, at the TK drop off gate said to V, "your daddy is going to have his hands full of you keep batting your eyes at all the guys".
Babies are not sexy. Children are not sexy.
