Kid saw a group of boys playing ball as we drove past. Half of them were shirtless.
(this isn’t them, in case you were wondering if I was that kind of nut who pulled over to take a picture for her blog. not this time, my friend, not this time.)
“Those boys are naked, Mommy.”
“Well, they’re not wearing their shirts, honey. That’s because they’re playing a game and some guys keep their shirts on while the other guys take their shirts off. Then they know who is on which team. Shirts versus skins.”
“Oh.”
Pause.
“What if you’re wearing a dress?”
“Um…..a dress you would keep on.”
But, good question, Kid.

Girls in dresses are called cheerleaders. They don’t play.
But still a good question.
If you have a dress on, you would create new teams and new sports!!
Chip!!! you’d be amazed at what girls in dresses can do, beyond raising up a pom pom!
Actually the girls lacrosse teams wear skirts with shorts under….traditional team wear. My kid wouldn’t join the team when she found out she would have to wear a dress to play and the rules were different for girls (no body checking). Title nine was a good start – but we have a ways to go…. Beyond the stumping, don’t you just love spring?
Great question! Totally reasonable.
If you were wearing a dress you’d just have to be on the shirts team.
