Over the summer we went to a street carnival. Each intersection had a band or dance group performing. At one block we saw belly dancers. Well, we've taught our children about modesty, which includes not showing your belly button in public.
Sammy: "Mom! Why are they showing their belly buttons in public?"
Mom: "Well, that's part of the belly dancing costume. It's what all belly dancers wear."
Benjamin: "I'm never going to belly dance!"
Mom: "Good. Boys don't belly dance. Only girls do."
Benjamin: "Mom, never belly dance. Don't show your belly button in public!"
Mom: "OK, I promise." Not that I ever would, anyway.

I appreciate that they have a strong opinion of what should not be done in public - now if we can get that to include a normal (as opposed to a child's) fashion sense. "Sorry, camouflage and tie die don't go together, Sweety."
