What Not To Wear.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

This picture is no different.   I'm guessing we're about 3.

I remember it for two reasons

1.  I did not like the outfit.

2.  I didn't like the man taking the picture because

he was trying to make me smile.

I remember Mom dressing us in front

 of the sandstone fireplace

 all the while trying to convince me to

   wear the outfit because it was cute.

 I wasn't buying it.

     And there was absolutely no way I was gonna smile dressed like that.

To make matters worse, Mandy could have cared less. 

                                                               

 The scandal of it all.

    Occasionally, I have had clothing wars with my children.

    For the most part now, I've learned that if I like a piece

   of clothing, they will hate it.
And some day, I'm sure I'll hear about
the outfit that I made them wear.
I can hardly wait.

Here's to priceless Olan Mills pictures!

        Oh, and just so you know this sweet little face is the 

                                same sweet face involved in the sugar bowl scandal of 1979.
