Ask a GG - Three

[candykowal]

Ladies, one question I have for you, will make you go back and reminisce.... back to the days of your youth.
I am hoping you are of the age of Aquarius or before, when all of the girls wore dresses, to school, church, or even play.
I also hope you were an only daughter or did you have older sisters?
My question is....
Did your Mother or older sisters, take the time to talk to you about being ladylike, how to sit in a dress, curtsy when formally introduced, how to be on a train or bus in public, how to keep your manicure presentable, using make-up, how to be careful around boys? Maybe a specific event in your youth you care to share?
Those things a young girls experiences and then asks questions about.
Not to go into my whole history but.....
I ask because my Mom took the time to talk to me how ladies should act whenever I asked her if I could play dress up.
She showed me if I was to play dress up, I needed to regularly take a Calgon bath, clean my teeth, brush my hair, and smell nice.
No playing on my knees on dirty floors, sit up straight, no shouting, no eating, no fidgeting, listen to your elders, and keep clean!
She showed me how to properly wear accessory garments and how to act while wearing a dress.
Mom showed me how she did her make up many times and help me do mine. I had girl attributes from a illness as a baby.

Anyway, I was coddled and pampered as a ill underdeveloped oops! baby and became the daughter my Mom could never have do to her age.
Thanks for your replies in advance!!!
