Mom with a baby bump asked her 6-year-old son’s opinion about her dress with a high slit — his gentleman-like response floored her
Small family moments hold deeper meaning when honesty meets love, and one mother’s simple question to her 6-year-old son proved she was raising a true gentleman. Ashlyn Ross, a then-pregnant mom, shared a short interaction with her young son on her Facebook page on December 31, 2025, that quickly caught attention. While showing off her baby bump and a dress she was trying on during a shopping trip, she decided to ask the little boy for his honest opinion. What followed was a calm, thoughtful exchange that felt natural and touching. Her son’s comment on her high-slit dress left her surprised and smiling.
In the video shared by Ashlyn, she stood in front of a mirror wearing a blue dress with a high slit, while her son sat behind her on a chair. The clip included an on-screen text that read, “Tip: take your 6-year-old shopping with you for honest opinions.” While still recording herself in the mirror, she asked, “What do you think about the blue one?” as she slightly posed and showed the slit of the dress. Her son looked carefully and hesitated before sharing his opinion, but eventually responded with "Yeah, but..." and continued to comment that the slit was “too big” and suggested she “sew it down to the knee.” Ashlyn listened closely and asked him, “Sew it down to the knee so I can be modest?”
She then held the dress closed to knee length and asked if that looked better. Her son calmly said yes, clearly approving the change. The moment felt respectful and genuine, with Ashlyn treating her son’s opinion seriously. She then asked him another question, wanting help choosing between two color options, and said, “So do we think the blue or the green?” Without hesitation, the boy replied that the blue one was his favorite.
The exchange ended on an even sweeter note. Ashlyn turned the camera toward her son to record his reaction and get a closer look, and then asked, “Makes my eyes look pretty?” Her son paused for a moment, looked at her intently, then appeared stunned as he said with a small smile, “Oh yeah, it matches your eyes.” Ashlyn couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, feeling pleased with the compliment. The mother also captioned the video, "He’ll make a great husband one day." The adorable interaction received many views online, with people praising the bond between mother and son.
Many internet users shared kind comments and talked about similar honest moments with their own children. Alicia Marie wrote in the comment section, "This right here is a mama's boy. I have 2 of them, and I always ask for advice with my clothes, and they are very honest, and I love it." Lo Ujhazi expressed, "He’s absolutely wonderful! Great job, mom." Victoria Cheramie joked, "What a sweet boy! My sons would never, and I have no sense of style, so I just leave the house having no clue lol." Carina Shives noted, "Such a good shopper. So freaking adorable."
