Perhaps, but she could have avoided the whole dilemma by
taking Ron aside earlier and explaining, instead of trying
to sneak the "dress" in.
Ron was just as embarrassed, and he's a teenager. They tend
to be emotional and act immature, sometimes ;)

Molly is the adult here, and made things worse, imo.

Yes, sure, but there's no reason for her to rub things in
the way she did.

Ron has shared his family with Harry without a second
thought, and I think he deserves a little consideration, too
<g>.

I generally like Molly, but she, too, has her faults ;)
(another example being the way she treats Hermione after
falling for Rita's article)
