THIS IS ME AT ABOUT AGE 8. I WAS A SKINNY TOMBOY WHO ADORED HER BIG BROTHER. DESPITE THAT, I LOVE THAT I'M WEARING THIS SCALLOPED PINK DRESS MY MOM SEWED FOR ME. I LOVE THAT I HAVE PULLED OFF MY HEADBAND AND THAT MY CURLS ARE GIVING UP. MOST OF ALL I LOVE THE LITTLE GIRL WHO DIDN'T TAKE ANY CRAP FROM ANYONE. I LOVE THINKING OF ME JUMPING ON THE BACK OF ONE OF THE DETMANN BOYS AND POUNDING HIM ABOUT THE EARS WHEN HE DECIDED TO USE HIS 6 YEAR ADVANTAGE AND JUMP MY BROTHER ON THE WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL. I THINK THAT LITTLE GIRL IS STILL HERE.
I love that picture and I love thinking about you boxing some older kids ears!
