Am I unreasonable?
 
Just wanted an opinion to see what other people think of this topic.

Tomorrow I'm not sending my little girl to kindergarten because her class is having a pajama day. I don't want her to get the message that it's OK to fraternize with unrelated boys while everyone is wearing intimate apparel (pajamas). Someday she'll be 16 and I definately don't want her to have that message then. So instead of sending her to school, I'm going to take the family to a museum.

What are your thoughts? Does my opinion make sense or am I being unreasonable. I'm curious as to what your thoughts are?

My thoughts are that I really hope this is a joke.

I think that "intimate apparel" is a fairly subjective term. There's a big difference between flannel pajamas and a T-shirt and lingerie. I had plenty of male friends in high school who saw me in my "pajamas" (loose pajama bottoms or sweats) and I don't think this is inappropriate at all. I didn't associate this as "intimate apparel." In fact, it was the opposite of sexy. I was being downright grungy.

I don't know that sending your daughter to kindergarten in pink flannel pajamas with cupcakes on them is going to naturally result in a 16-year-old girl being around a boy in her bra and panties. I don't think that pajamas are inherently "intimate apparel" and that any sensible 16-year-old can tell the difference.

Reminds me of a Clayton Bigsby (Chapelle) quote: "If anyone is going to have sex with my sister, IT'S GOING TO BE ME!"

I've said it from the beginning: Burning Bright is another CG poster playing the part of clueless mullah. Nice try BB, but you'll have to do better.

BB sent me a PM saying it's not a joke. But I hope you're right. Otherwise I feel REALLY bad for his/her kids. Yikes.

My thoughts are that it sort of hurts when you yank my chain so forcefully and there is no payoff at the end.

I think I better define intimate. From the following:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/intimate

I use the first definition:

1. associated in close personal relations: an intimate friend.
