Off My Rocker

My hubbie has told me on multiple occasions that he doesn't like floral prints. "They just remind me of that 'pearl necklace era' and look too 'grandma-y,'" he explains each time I sashay into the living room wearing a floral frock. I waited in vain for a different response when I paired sweet floral pants with a tough leather vest. I suspect Brian's under-appreciation of floral prints will still be a topic of debate even when we sit on the porch, old and decrepit, in our matching rocking chairs. "I don't know about those pants, babe. The flowers just remind me of a grandmother," he'll say. "Honey, I am a grandmother!" I'll remind him for the umpteenth time. "Besides, you're the one wearing skateboard shoes even though you haven't skated in 15 years," I'll add wickedly. "Hey, the boys came over to skate 14 years ago," he'll counter, as we both start to crack up. Hey, if I'm still wearing leather and floral skinnies as a senior citizen, I will so be the raddest grandma in town.

Some cute schoolchildren watched my photo shoot, disappointed that it wasn't going to end in a performance.

What do you think - am I totally off my rocker to love floral prints?
