Shopping With Parents - Summary

Summary

Lilly also jokes about the awkwardness of trying on clothes with her parents, especially when her mom tries to adjust her outfit and inspect the fit. She notes that this is a common experience for many brown kids, whose parents often prioritize modesty and thriftiness.
