Stories Collected While Living in France
Gone Shopping.
See you later.
When is the last time you went shopping with a teenager?
Let me say this about that…
When shopping with a teenager the whole, wide, world opens up like a technicolor rainbow. The music in the shops is not at all like the music in the department stores. Such a groovy thing.
Dancing in the dressing rooms is common.
Want to feel young at heart… take a teenager shopping. Milkshakes, French fries, hot pink polish, and raspberry lip gloss are in order.
Teenagers are my life – I’m a high school teacher! I love love love their humor, their honesty and their youth….don’t get me wrong, there are those “shock factor” moments and questionable fashion choices. But, generally, they are our link to both our past and our future. They make me feel young and older than the hills in a matter of minutes!
Enjoy the shopping!
Corey,
Ah, the luck of the California French. ;>)

It sounds like great fun. Have a great day. E
And have you ever heard music played louder than in stores where the teenager goes? I have a 16 year-old, I’m 56, and I’ve been there.
You should have a fun and interesting shopping adventure!! Enjoy…..
Corey,
I think you should seriously looking into getting this look, for your motorcycle trip across the states! : )
A teenager will always lighten your heart. Isn’t it wonderful how they see the world from a whole different angle. I’m sure you had a ball. Hugs, Marty
All right Amelia Earhardt, have a great time, and don’t forget your credit card! Rebecca
2 more years before our oldest girl becomes a teen. I better keep reading your blog to be up to date with how to be a good shopping partner!
Have fun
I love to be surrounded by young people
Love you
Can’t wait to hear what you have found
Are you kidding me? I used to work in the teenage section of a department store… what a fun place to be! Although at times, I had to take my ____ (fill name of favorite energy drink here!) to keep up with them.
I had all boys, so I missed out on the shopping thing in my early life… however I now have a 1 year old granddaughter, so I’m looking forward to those kind of shopping trips… if she’ll actually be interested in her old Nami. (:
I love love love that helmet! I wonder if its for sale… and if so, the price?
I also shopped with my son yesterday…whole different ballgame…
I’m a mother to sons, now in their 20’s, so I missed out on mother-daughter shopping trips, but I love milkshakes, french fries, hot pink nail polish and raspberry lip gloss. I hope you ate and wore all of the above on your shopping trip!
I would have. 🙂

I did that just today. Looking for a graduation outfit. She yelled at me though and said I threw too many things at her to try.
I got to take my God daughter shopping last weekend for her 14th birthday. It was funny cause her style was a little less conservative than last year but thankfully she’s still a kid and it was a blast! Have fun!
love it…my ‘teenage’ girl is now 33…
I love her to bits…Judy
LOL Corey, just took my daughter shopping for prom – I entered stores SO outside my comfort zone, loud music, chandeliers, accessory city – so much fun for a mother to experience, remember when we were the teen shoppers? Yeah, me too 🙂
I did it just today. with four, I get to do it often. Riding in the car is the best part. If I am quiet, they talk up a storm. It is so fun!
True! 🙂
