Is It?

Tonight, as we were drying off and getting ready to leave the community pool, my seven year old asked me a very good question.

"Mommy, is it okay for mommies to wear things that only cover up their private parts? You know, just a little bit of a swimsuit so that all of their bellies are showing and all of this stuff [as he shyly guestures to the upper to mid chest area) is showing."

Innocent eyes, wide open, asking me about modesty without even knowing it. It was apparent that he was uncomfortable with whatever 'little' it was that he had just seen.

How does a mommy respond?

Is it okay? Is it?
