Melle: *kicks Ann Landers* dude, okay. <<I do not believe it is wise to have your teenage daughters running around nude in front of their father and adolescent brother. >> WHAT THE FUCK?
Tri: Um, you did hear that Ann Landers died, right?
Melle: My dad and brothers have seen me naked THOUSANDS of times! They're not SCARRED or anything, and neiter am I!
Melle: And yes. But I still want to kick her.

Yeah, I think a lot of it's just a matter of being used to it. I mean, I've seen more naked people than anyone I know, and I have to say, I credit the nudist campings for a lot of my healthy body image, becasue once you've seen what the average person looks like under their clothes, you realise nobody's perfect.

(oddly enough, very few "gorgeous people" seem to go to nudist campins and beaches.)

Well, yeah, I don't think it's particularly unhealthy to be naked around family, and in fact, it's probably pretty unhealthy to feel like you have to hide your body from them at all times no matter what. It's just something that I'm not used to. Not really something anyone talks about either, unless it's to take the Ann Landers stance.

The other thing I never really got was that "little girls should sleep on the mom's side of the bed, little boys should sleep on the father's side" thing. Like, what? Why? How is simply sleeping next to her father going to screw up a little girl?

That's the thing, see. I mean, I understand being uncomforable with it, but what ann Landers is implying, and what that side of the bed thing is implying, is that every guy is going to molest his kids/sisters just because they're naked or whatever.

And that's just so fucked-up, man. I can be naked around my family as much as I like, I know they're still seeing my as their daughter/sister, not as someone to lust after; That's just such a fucked-up idea, y'know?

Hey man. You ever read Flowers in the Attic. Brother is horny because he's locked in the attic! And he doesn't know any other girls. So instead of jerking off like a normal kid, he bangs his sister. Heh. Because there's no such thing as a guy who doesn't want to bang his relatives in a VC Andrews novel.
