Do you have a Miley Cyrus fan in your house? I sure do. Mine loves her music, her style and her television show. She knows Cyrus' favorite color, the names of her pets and every word to all of her songs. What she doesn't know is that her idol has a very bad habit of behaving inappropriately in front of cameras, leading to embarrassing photos splashed across the Internet. She doesn't know this because I don't allow her to surf the Web on her own. She doesn't Google and she doesn't click anywhere without asking first.Because she is only seven and completely unaware of what Miley is getting up to in her spare time, I haven't found it necessary to address the situation. I am not sure how she would react if I were to suddenly ban any and all things Miley from our house, but that is exactly what some moms are doing. According to Fox News, some British parents have had enough of the pop star's provocative posing and are boycotting her merchandise. Moms interviewed at a London Disney store say they "feel she is now of an unsuitable nature for a 15-year-old megastar."I agree. Her behavior is unsuitable for her younger fans. But Miley herself is a teenager and kind of doing what teenagers do - physically maturing and dealing with her burgeoning sexuality. She just happens to be doing it in a very inappropriate and public way. If banning her from my house would somehow make Miley realize the error of her ways, I would do it. But we all know that isn't going to happen. So I guess I will have to do the next best thing. If and when the time comes that I have to explain what Miley Cyrus is doing posing for the camera wearing nothing but a wet t-shirt and a come-hither look, I will just tell the truth: she's making a fool of herself.
