Pajama Party

True Confession Friday: Some mornings, when there are no children awake to ask a favor from, I sneak outside in my pajamas to get the newspaper. (And I do sneak, quickly and quietly.)

However, in the past two weeks, I was surprised to see the following:

1. A mom waiting with her child at the school bus stop in her nightgown.

2. Another mom walking her teenage son to school in sheer white pajamas without undergarments.

I felt like stopping my car and lecturing each woman about public decency and setting an appropriate example for her children.

Instead, I decided to ask you all what you wear outside in the mornings. Because maybe it is just me who thinks adults walking down the street in the morning in one's pjs sets the bar for decency awfully low. (At 2 a.m. after a few too many nightcaps is another story.)

Do you wear your pajamas outside? At the bus stop? When you're driving your child to school? Is the day coming when we will show up to our desks to find our bosses will be wearing their pajamas at work?
