Old age and Old Navy

Of course I hope to have a long time to see if this observation is accurate, but right now it seems as if there is nothing in the world that can make you feel older than taking your ten-year old daughter shopping at Old Navy. All the clothes around you are saying so clearly, you don’t belong here. And your answer to these clothes—no way you belong on my girl’s body. And even if you do buy her something, there’s basically no way you’d let her out of the house in it. Definitely one of those “35/10” Sharon Olds moments.
