We’re pals with my mother-in-law. She is an extremely elegant woman who enjoys looking and dressing beautifully. My husband and I recently invited her to join us at a restaurant; she arrived dressed strangely and wearing a scarf around her head.

We were stunned and asked, “What happened?” And she responded: “I thought I’d dress modestly so you’d look normal next to me in your jeans.” And she started giggling.
