Friday night Mickie and I went on a date. We haven’t been on too many since Mia was born and we really need to go on more, but that’s not the point. We were walking around the mall going into the stores that we like, Gap, Baby Gap (where Mickie found a pair of pants for Mia for .47 – yes that decimal is not misplaced they were actually forty-seven cents…) the Apple Store, Pottery Barn and some others. I happened to be looking for some pants to wear to work – something very casual khakis or cargo pants. I normally buy most of those kind of things at the Gap but they had diddly so Mickie asked if I wanted to go into American Eagle.
Now, I’m not sure if there was a polar shift or other weirdness going on but we both kind of stopped and then had a conversation about whether or not we are still allowed to go into those kind of stores. When are you no longer supposed to go to American Eagle, Abercrombie, Hollister, The Buckle etc…? At what point do you look like a desperate loser trying to fit in with a generation younger than you? We must have passed this point because neither of us felt comfortable going in any of those places. Is it a certain age? Is it when you have kids? Is it a certain weight? Or are we just off our rocker? Maybe its when you start using phrases like “off your rocker.”
Anyway help us out and let us know if we are still cool enough to shop where the cool kids shop.
You can pretend like you are shopping for someone else. But if you feel like you you are to old you are. Because it has nothing to do with age. Maybe kids does it, but not age! Any place that carries a good supply of purses I go in. No kids here, so must be kids.
lol that is a funny post I don’t think you are too old to shop in American Eagle but the other stores that you listed….well yes you are too old….Did you find anything to buy there??
PS. I forgot how to edit my page….
What about the Antique Road Show? Would this be classified as an aging milestone or just another guilty pleasure? It seems as though our mailbox is being stuffed with Yankee Candle promotions on a more routine basis. This may be attributed to an uptick in candle purchases, most likely negotiated during a trip to the mall just after lunch at Cracker Barrel.

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard the Antique Roadshow referred to as “a guilty pleasure.” Maybe a guilty sin… I think the Yankee Candle aroma has permeated your brain and has started to kill off the manly cells.
