Okay, it's technically not still Friday, but somewhere in the world, it still is. After my Retro-Blogging entry, I was looking over kellieann's Flashback Friday post, and figured I was so behind I'd be in the right ballpark for a flashback.
Here is a very old picture of me as a baby:
My mother did try to get me to stop squinting when I smile. I did try, but everytime I'd end up looking and feeling rather scary--a little like an insect about to eat or be eaten. When I saw this picture as a teenager, I was so pleased to find out that my natural way of smiling is with my eyes mostly shut. She also tried to get me to close my mouth when I laugh. Tee hee! Don't worry Mom--lots of things you taught me, did "stick"--I even (try very hard to) clean up the kitchen as I cook now! (:
And, Kellieann, thanks for the inspiration, and I really, really, did try to leave a comment on your blog, but the post a comment page(s) I tried to open are still frozen and churning somehwere in cyberspace, but not opening on my monitor. I'll try a howdy another day!
Take care, ya'll!
