A musing on the real origin of tznius...

[Metatron] : "You don't really want to wear those capris. You'd have to shave your legs."

Unsuspecting Olde Hebrew Girl: "Yiiiiii!!!"

Okay okay okay, I know they didn't have capris in the ancient Levant... and I know what it says about my (tattered but still extant) concepts of tznius, that I said 'capri[ pant]s' and not 'shorts'... But, anyway. It's believable,  is it not?
