"Is that Old Fashioned?"

Yesterday, the kids were watching TV to stay out of the heat.  It was 95 degrees and very humid.  After arguing over the remote, they came upon a show that was one of  my favorites when I was a girl. I was enthused when the remote stopped changing and a hush of silence came into the room.  It was "Full House"  with Mary Kate and Ashley as the babies...they think it's crazy that Mary Kate and Ashley were babies on the show (probably because they can only see one at a time...lol)  It was the episode where Danny had to do the 10pm news, Joey had a comedy gig at the local comedy barn and Jesse was supposed to practice rockin' with his band.  (He was even hot with long hair..{drool}..)Apparently they all 3 couldn't leave the kids home in the bed, so poor Uncle Jesse was conned into staying home.  DJ and Stephanie snuck down the staircase for a tub of icecream and told Uncle Jesse they would go straight to bed after a bowl.  It made them Hyper and Wild and sleeping was the last thing on their minds.  (Here comes the good part)  Uncle Jesse invited his band to come over to the house, where they played drums with licorice, quietly strummed the guitars and whispered the words.  Until DJ and Stephanie came down the stairs wearing their ***80's Wardrobe*** which was totally cool in 1988!  They had the dangle earrings bangle bracelets and long necklaces, the footless leggings and long shirts.  I couldn't help but smile extremely large when I saw their get-up.  It took me back to being 9 and wearing the same things....{sigh}.   The girl band member was decked out in a short studded miniskirt and black leggings, an off one shoulder t-shirt and she had PURPLE in her hair.  (which delighted me because I have RED chunks in mine).  

I caught the girls attention.

(I said)     "Look!  Do you see what they are wearing?....."   I was trying to let them know that the styles are changing and that I am COOL..  but before I could get out another word,
