"Today is kind of a big day for me rite of passage wise!
I'm going shopping with my daughter in non-loud music stores!"
Regarding my excitement I should explain that I have spent way too much in small shops with loud music and long lines. That my daughter now prefers More subdued shops and shopping makes me very happy.I will admit that Talbot's, Brooks Brothers are still pretty much too stodgy for her tastes. I am still the only one of us who likes places where one hears the likes of Ella Fitzgerald.
But I can take Florence and the Machine and Adele all day long over what we used to hear while we shopped for her clothes.
Now here's a bigger surprise: we actually agreed on many of the things she ended up with. Some of them, I picked out for her and took to her in the dressing room. This was a thing unheard of not so long ago.
She ended up with everything she had on her list for school and work but a bag for her books and computer. At one point, as we looked into a case of watches, I asked "do you like the tortoise shell or mother-of-pearl finishes?"
When she said, "Both!" I had just one response. "Me, too!"
We agreed on many things. Most things, even. Right down to the shoes she bought.
