Oh to embarrass your teens !

A week ago when I was looking through a catalogue I was delighted to see that colored jeans ( you know instead of blue jeans.... purple jeans, pink jeans, brown jeans... etc.) are back in style( or at least for sale again) I remember back a few( few doesn't always mean just three or four or even ten, right?) years ago I had many colors of jeans and I loved them. They were dressier than regular blue jeans and were just so ( in my opinion ) feminine. Though I loved my jeans of many colors, the styles changed and mine wore out or shrunk, or whatever and I moved on. Seeing these in a catalogue that actually makes clothes in sizes to fit people like me, had me all excited. I immediately began to think of what colors I must have. It was at this point that Cindy walked in. Looking over my shoulders I heard that familiar gasp followed by a simple "No way Mom" "What ?????" I asked" You can't get those tacky jeans" she responded" But I used to have some and loved them" "No" she responded" "What is wrong with them" I asked" After a tsk her reply was "look at them.. their so 80's. My response ?????? So am I.... I just ordered them in pink and raspberry and am considering getting boysenberry and lilac too !
