I was raised in a house where my sisters and I weren't trusted by our mother to manage our own appearance.As a result，there were rules，and fashion was largely ignored（忽視）.
A few years ago，I was home for a visit when my mom，now in her early 70s，called me into her bedroom.We were about ready to leave for dinner. "I don't know what to wear，" she complained from her seat. "You girls always look so good."
I paused in the doorway and looked at her，wondering if I'd misheard." What do you mean？" I asked her."You know what to wear."
"No，"she answered."I don't.Can you pick something？I couldn't believe my ears.
This was the same woman who，in 1989，told me I wasn't allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped（有破洞的） Jeans；the same woman who，in high school，called my younger sister while she was out at a party to ask if her hair was up. "You look better with it down， "she told the girl，before she could answer.
I realized，suddenly，that my mother-always strong-not only wanted my opinion，but needed it.
I pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet and a light blue sweater from her drawer.
"Wear these with your black shoes，" I told her.She did as I suggested.
My mother certainly doesn't need anyone to take care of her.In fact，she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her.But with that question，my mother and I started the role change that happens to all parents and all children，from care giver to receiver.
Now，if I'm visiting or we're together，it's rare（罕見的）for her to wear anything without checking with me first.
But sometimes，it seems that she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick something out on her own.And when she does，I just tell her what I think of the way she looks.Sometimes it's"great".And sometimes it's "awful".
