When i was young I thought my mom's colorful decor was ridiculous. Now I'm old and my kids think I'm ridiculous for wanting colorful everything. Is that a thing?

Lol I am right there with you. In my teenage years I dressed all black, tons of black eyeliner, etc. And scoffed at anything pastel or pink. Now? Well now I have purple hair, rainbow shoes, colorful pants and whatever ticks my fancy. When my brother cuestioned me I told him that since I wore all black for a long time (still do from time to time) I loved colorful outfits now and he was like "Well, you know you don't have to make up for it, right?" Oh ffs just leave me alone. No one cares and it makes me happy.

I spent 30 years wearing black. I think i thought it made me invisible.
