The other day while I was out at lunch reaching for a lid for my drink…a young woman said ‘excuse me’ as she reached for a lid for her own drink. She then turned to me and said “I really like your fashion style." I turned to her and said ‘Thank you” oozing charm but like it was NOT uncommon for me to get those types of compliments from hip looking teenagers. (Inside I was dancing like Rocky at the top of the steps).
Teenagers Rule!
So, this encounter lead me to do something stupid. Ask my teenage niece for fashion advice….this is how it went.
Me: “How do these shoes look .”(modeling some flat pointy zebra patterned shoes for her)
Her: “They look weird.”
Me: “What do you mean ‘weird’? Weird good or weird bad?(Yes…there is a difference!) Boy George…'weird good' (the boy could WEAR that make-up). Lady Gaga…weird bad (very bad!)"
Her: “Who's Boy George?
Me: "Nevermind, how do they look?"
Her: "Weird bad…..like a big game hunter is going to come along and you are going to lose a foot.”
......needless to say I didn’t buy the shoes.
Teenagers suck!
