It scared me because I always thought those little girls modeling clothes had once been alive, but were now stuck in the Sears book, frozen! I was little..what can I say? I have no clue where I got that from and I'm sure I didn't express it to my mom..because had I..I ASSUME she wouldn't have tortured me. But it was very scary to me! My mom had issues with my hair too. I was the "constant beneficiary" of many home perms, haircuts and all other types of non sensical ridiculousness that all failed to cure my bad hair. :-)Tina@thriftingwithcake.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905141056882884552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859627870537336161.post-35955778582728920582012-12-10T06:40:10.367-05:002012-12-10T06:40:10.367-05:00True story.

Usually on about Day 7 of a stretch of their father working all hours of available overtime. They're lucky I didn't throw them to Peek-a-boo!<br /><br />I believe there were many days that my mother wanted to trade me for a different daughter...one a little more compliant and with normal hair :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450443439870553260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859627870537336161.post-85916337932761604172012-12-10T03:05:30.892-05:002012-12-10T03:05:30.892-05:00You are HILARIOUS!
IT is a terrible story to tell...You are HILARIOUS!<br /><br />IT is a terrible story to tell a three year old..damned granny!<br /><br />Thanks for calling it a bastard. Made my night!<br /><br />Remind me to tell you about my mom's idea about trading me in for a different daughter. My 40 yr old self thinks "now that's some stellar parenting!
