‘Fro Me to You—Down and Dirty

Welcome again to the Internet’s Thursday hoedown sponsored by Kristen at We Are THAT Family.

I realized I threatened not to return after last week’s scary reveal. But you know this is my favorite day in blogland.

This week, I bring to you a photo of how my mom used to take my twin sister and I out to play as toddlers:

Yes, we are sitting in a plastic pool, in dresses with our toys. Why you may ask??? Because my mom thought babies should smell like babies and be clean at all times.

Yes, she did.

Guess what happened one day when she left the front door open while getting the mail:

We marched our white-as-snow sailor dresses directly to the driveway. Our neighbor witnessed the whole blessed event and captured it for eternity’s sake. For this was the first day in our short lives we played and got dirty!

As a tomboy in training, I clearly answered the call of the dirt by getting down and dirty right then and there. The first of many days I spent covered in filth.

My twin, who was NOT a tomboy in training, sat in the soft grass and appears as though she is brushing off the dirt. And I’m almost positive she’s never spent one day covered in filth.
