Fluorescent age

Ah children - a little like making  a cake: hard work to make, exciting to watch grow ,satisfying when they develop as expected.
I was enjoying this analogy as I asked Sam how the fluorescent sneakers I had tried on looked.
 
I love Sam no more so than today, when she told me the fluorescent sneakers I  tried on in the shop  were perhaps too bright for my age. My impulsive reaction was to  be immediately defiant, wanting the sneakers  even more. What didn't escape me was that the single-mindedness  of my adolescence was still alive and well, even though my combined  years are enough for a seniors card. The colour of age is not dark  but fluorescent! 
A lovely contribution from Trish :)
