At 75, I wear red lipstick with pride—it’s a symbol of my lively spirit. But recently, my son Stephen and his wife Sarah criticized me, calling me a “desperate old clown” and suggesting I dress more “age-appropriately.” Hurt and angry, I decided to prove a point. At our annual block party, I showed up in a striking red dress, matching hat, and bold makeup. I even became the grand marshal of the parade. Stephen and Sarah were stunned when they saw me. After the parade, I confronted them, saying that life is too short to live by other people’s expectations and that self-expression matters more than their judgments. They apologized, recognizing their mistake and admitting that I have every right to be true to myself at any age. The lesson was clear: it’s about respecting my choices, not trying to make me conform.
