My Mother felt so cleansed of guilt and shame after my post on Friday that she brought me more evidence of my childhood mistreatments that very night.
(That and she’s been cleaning out her basement, but that’s beside the point.)
As it turns out, The Atrocity wasn’t a one-time offense, nor perhaps even as bad as it got. In fact, it is becoming quite apparent that I lived my entire childhood with no peripheral vision at all – like a horse with blinders, I was.
…or at least that’s what I’d title this if it were a piece of art (which it obviously is).
At any rate, at least JC was allowed his dignity.
Well, aside from that Winged Precious Moments Bunny he was so delicately holding.
Ha ha!
I still say you are so cute! :)
OMG! That pic is precious.
Did your Mom have a harness for you, too? I am 71 now, but when I was an active two- to four-year-old, I actually loved my harness, and it didn’t have a cute little monkey on the back; it was just a plain leather harness. But just wait ’til Ali and Noah have kids and start bringing out their own “favorite” pics of these long-gone years. And, oh, but they will. What fun!
Nope, no harnesses! I love that they were plain and leather back in the day – no politically correct monkeys for y’all!! :)
Oh you poor thing! That bonnet was absurd! But you were still cute!
OMG! I have that VERY same Precious Moments bunny, it was my first stuffed animal. My Grandma gave it to me the day I was born. What are the chances?!?
That’s crazy!! Do you still have it? My Mom just found mine…we could have a bunny party! ;)
Your title made me almost spit my coke out on the screen. Hilarious.
I meant the title of the the picture…
Okay, you are not going to belive this, but I found 2 of those bunnies in another tub I cleaned out over the weekend (guess you got one and your brother got one). I washed them and a few others for the grandkids to play with this weekend. ; )
That’s hilarious! I do remember the bunnies very well…but they weren’t exactly manly…
The only thing that saved me from this fate is that there were three girls, so if one bonnet was purchased then mom had to get two more. However, pin curls are free. Did you ever spend the night before Easter sleeping on bobby pins?
Nope – but I did do foam rollers. I don’t know HOW I slept on those things!!
Oh dear. I had a doll with that exact outfit.
That is funny!
Does your mom still have that dress & bonnet? I’d love to see them on Ali ;)
I think she does somewhere!! She’s probably afraid to give them to me :)
