Did you have strange rules growing up?

I can sympathise with several of these stories. Getting dressed for breakfast. Strict bedtime. Asking permission to leave the table. No trousers or tights.

@saragoodtimes I wonder what the connection is.

@saragoodtimes That is one of the stories. Apparently red signifies a bad girl! I was never aware of such a rule but come to think of it I never had red heels only black or brown.

@saragoodtimes does it?! Gosh no that would be bad. Skimpy knickers was another no no as well!

@MrsRachelEvans maybe an old wives tale growing up in NJ

@saragoodtimes I suppose red is seen as a bit racy. Knickers growing up were full, boring, cotton and plain lol
