I had learned how showing a little leg could have benefits. Sometimes I enjoyed showing my legs just for the pleasure of watching guys' reactions as they looked at me.
I know it was not a nice thing to do, but by the time my son got to high school, his friends began to notice me. I think their flirtatiousness made me feel good...thinking they thought I, an "old lady," was at least a little hot.
I always wore skirts and hose to work -- usually tailored suits. The skirts were not very short at all, usually just knee length. I know when I sat down the skirts would slide up a few inches, but I never revealed much leg. Knowing my son's friends' mothers, I was sure that I was one of the very few who wore skirts, and almost the only one of the group who regularly wore hose. I often was asked by the other mothers why I wore hose and my only explanation to them was that I always had worn hose and I didn't feel properly dressed with bare legs.
I always liked the fact that our house was a popular place for my son and his friends. I never complained about my son having his friends over and they always were willing to abide by my rules, which mainly consisted of cleaning up after themselves. Other than that, they pretty much had the run of the house and were always allowed to help themselves to snacks and cold drinks.
