Butts. Let’s talk about them. If we’ve learned anything from Tina Belcher, a deep love and appreciation for butts is the key to any young adult’s health and prosperity. But my life’s current butt question of the year lies not on Jimmy Junior’s epic bod but in the realm of one specific place – on McAlister.
Butts on McAlister – we all see them, but what do we do about them? It’s the classic story – girl that you do not know is walking down McAlister, minding her own business, heading to class, drinking her PSL (tg u r back brb inhaling pumpkins) and there is her butt, out in the open, soaking in rays of sunlight with the new outfit addition of bright green underwear as a result of a backpack riding up too high to match the super original and never overdone already see through Brandy Melville Jada Dress.
Mondays amirite ladies?????
My point is, I’m not here to criticize your butt being exposed – if you want to flaunt your assets on campus, more power to you. Your body is yours and I and anyone else should not police it. But what about when THEY LITERALLY DON’T KNOW THEIR BUTT IS EXPOSED. AND EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.
The air is still. A palm tree sways slowly in the wind and time almost stops as the pumpkin spice latte slowly becomes colder and colder. You don’t have much time. You have a decision to make – do you tell her, or do you not?
Do you save your fellow woman from an entire day of embarrassment and shame or do you let it slide, claiming it too awkward to approach a complete stranger about her highlighter underpants or even more awkward, a frank discussion about her fashion choices and can we please PLEASE just let that dress die good god it really is see through and do not even get me started on the impossible body standards set by Brandy Melville and their “one size fits all” attitude.
So.
Do you tell them? Do you let it slide, putting yet another one of our world’s problems off on future generations? Maybe, someday, our children will be able to cross social boundaries and say “hey. Your dress is riding up.”
You have a decision to make. We ALL have a decision to make.
So, will you tell her? Or will you let it go?
As our girl Tina would say, “I’m no hero. I put my bra on one boob at a time like everyone else.”
And so can you.
