When I was 1...My experience was just the opposite. When I was 11 years old, I wondered why I was so perfect. I had two siblings with glasses, two with braces, and one still wet the bed. BaBAM! By 12 I had glasses, braces, and became diabetic. The most embarrassing moments of my childhood followed . . . including wetting the bed at a sleepover. I was the one regretting my daydream of perfection.Jennifer Mackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238061911674138706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041401197354997631.post-88382657819246898012012-01-07T09:07:17.547-08:002012-01-07T09:07:17.547-08:00Ruth,

Considering we're in the "older" age bracket, there are many memories stored away to share. Thanks again for the invite.<br />Mary AnnUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558452161774582037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041401197354997631.post-57950969069849652762012-01-03T11:20:19.011-08:002012-01-03T11:20:19.011-08:00Ruth,
I'm reminded by your childhood longing ...Ruth,<br /><br />I'm reminded by your childhood longing of a book I read in grade school several times that awakened the same sort of desire. Of course I'm talking about Mark Twain's 'Tom Sawyer'. You recall that Tom has this longing to be dead so that Becky Thatcher will shed tears over his cold corpse. . . but he adds the more pointed 'revenge component': Then they will regret, THEN they will realize what they missed in me, etc. Oh, and he skips the big boobs and long eyelashes.<br /><br />Great Blog,<br /><br />Dan H.Dan Haygemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714734319928977395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041401197354997631.post-17902761225527173212012-01-02T21:08:18.944-08:002012-01-02T21:08:18.944-08:00I am honored and absolutely thrilled to be invited...I am honored and absolutely thrilled to be invited and to participate in this and any interaction, education and dialogue that it may create.
