Mama Said, Keep Your Dress Tail Down

Girl, Keep Your Dress Tail Down! Back in the day, women who grew up in the rural South may have heard those very words from an adult female, whether it was their mother, grandmother, or aunt. I know I sure did. And like Mama Lou, I hadn't a clue as to what those words meant. I was an adult myself when I figured it all out, the hard way. So this story is somewhat my story, as with anyone else who can relate.
