The Sixties, Eighties...


It's happened. I've become officially old.

This summer Kate and I had a fun time playing on the "Mad Men Yourself" website, where you could choose a variety of styles from the 60's.

Here's our conversation from yesterday:

Kate: Mom, can you show me how to go on that 80's website?
Me: What 80's website are you talking about?
Kate: You know....the one where you can choose hairstyles and clothing. Remember how we made a bunch of styles?
Me: 80's?? That's not the 80's, that's the 60's.
Kate: The 60's, 80's, whatever...it's just old.

UGH! The 60's and the 80's are not the same. I grew up in the 80's and wasn't alive in the 60's. The 80's were filled with Madonna, zipper Guess jeans, The Limited, big bangs, and Rob Lowe.

How could she possibly confuse the two?

Some of us have parents that grew up in the 30's (my dad). Now that is scary!! :) We're still young!
