Good Photos Challenge Day 10 - Childhood Memory

30 Day Good Photos Challenge, Day 10 Subject - Childhood Memory

School Picture Day - in the days before everyone had cameras, videos, and iPhones, school picture day was a big deal. In the photo on left I'm 4 years old, on right 5. And, I was dying to go to school but couldn't enroll until 6 years old. To ease the pain a bit, my older sister took me to school on picture day.

Hairdos and dresses for the all important photo: On the left, my hair had been rolled on soft pink curlers the night before and then held back with hairbows that matched my dress. I remember that my mother made this dress from a green print feedsack (yep! I'm old). In photo on right, I was wearing my first store bought dress, a red polka dot. My hairstyle was a short bob capped by pin curl "horns". My no nonsense mother would never allow my hair to "hang in my eyes" (her words).
