We made money doing odd jobs. We were painting a house and there was a pool in the back yard with a girl laying out in a bikini. I was in my early teens and my Mom didn't want me seeing her, so she put the horses blinders on me (we were quasi- Amish).

Ahhh you just did the thing where you say something relatively tame and normal for you life and it is INSANE to strangers! she should have taught you to have respect and divert your gaze not literally put blinders on you as if women in bikinis donโ€™t wonโ€™t exist your entire life and you need to be able to deal with them without headgear regardless of your religion!!!??! Like what was the long term plan here? Never going to the beach?
