Mommy's new swimsuit

I got a new tankini (two-piece bathing suit) in the mail last weekend. The bottoms have a little skirt thing because I might as well take advantage of the fashion to hide my hips. I asked Alison what she thought of it. 

Ali: "It's cute, mom, but, you know ... your legs ... you might want to wear stockings with it." 

Me: "With a ...bathing suit?!?" 

Ali: "Oh, I thought it was an outfit. If it's a bathing suit it looks great!"

One wonders where she thought I'd be wearing it. I imagine she thought it was some sort of party dress ...
