Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to Squid Game! We got a bag of Korean old style candy too. It was a good day.
The funniest thing for me, however, was that I’m so much older than everyone else there. The children obviously are young, but so are many of the teachers compared to me. They are of a similar age to my daughter. They have no idea what it’s like to have lived in six different decades. I remember the 1980s and 1990s very well, and honestly the 80s were cool times. It was so nice to indulge in a little nostalgia.
