20 Years and 2 Months Later
While browsing for Santa pictures over the weekend, I came across this little gem:
This is a picture from my 4 year birthday party. Like the Raggedy Ann cake? This picture is a great representation of my general personality as a kid. I was shy, but I had a mean streak. I loved, loved, loved to pinch (still do). And my facial expressions were quite expressive, which, as those who know me will verify, is also true to this day.
My goodness I looked michievious! And look where my hand is. A bit too close to the knife. And check out my awesome bangs. My mom had the unfortunate misgivings that incredibly short bangs were better than crooked bangs, hence the lack of forehead coverage. And check it out, I'm drinking coke and about to eat cake. Caffeine? Check. Sugar? Check. A bunch of rowdy kids and exhausted parents? Oh, all they had to do was wait. My sister is sitting next to me, smiling and looking sweet. Probably unaware of the crazed psycho expression on my sweet little 4-year-old face. Funny how things change, huh? Or stay exactly the same.
