Working Out in Shorts

Every now and then, I run into a situation that long ago would have upset me, but no longer does. Instead, it amuses me. Maturity is a good thing.
I was at a workout place wearing sports shorts that don't cover my knees. They felt comfy because they're made of moisture wicking material. My workout pants usually cover my knees or are ankle length, but this month has been HOT! Now, these ones are shorter, but they aren't what we used to call Daisy Dukes: no cheek meat is exposed😊.
As I worked out, I heard another woman whisper to her friend and nod in my direction. I guess her friend didn't get the message, so she said, "Shorts." I acted like I didn't hear, but years ago, I would have taken this as shade and would have addressed it. It's interesting that when  many of us were younger, we were more critical of the appearance of others: bra straps showing, too much cleavage, tight pants, short pants, bright lipstick, earrings, makeup, slip showing, etc. Is it really that important?
When we know better, we hopefully do better.
When I launder my shorts, I'll work out in them again😃!
