Modesty confronts cultural norms (i.e., tribal nudity). Much of the regulation
of Mennonite women's clothing is to escape the "male gaze." This whimsical
ditty introduces the boy to desire. Parents want childhood innocence to
lie preserved as long as possible. Freud said that curiosity about genitals
and sexuality is an early development. The curious boy longs for a peek
under the curtain. The encouragement of Hot Stuff's pitchfork is unnecessary.
