History Week: All Memories Are Not For Keeping

It's history week on the blog. You'll see why on Friday.

It's been quite fun to pull out old family photos. Except for this one. As an advocate for childrens' rights, I was disturbed. I can't remember the names of these kids, but I know they were childhood friends of mine. Maybe they will come across my blog and tell me they ended up being okay, but I wonder how damaging this was to their malleable psyches. We can only hope they don't remember. And that they don't have this picture in their baby books like I do...

P.S. Mom, I will be forever grateful that you never dressed me as a clown for Halloween.

You are cute and look just the same now. The kid on the right looks far more "normal clown" than the one on the right. :)

I think I know why...

I'm talking about history week, not the issues. We've all got those, clown or no clown. For the record, I was a clown one year. I hate clowns.

My mom doesn't know how to comment on my blog, so I'm posting this here for a keepsake. She put it on my facebook wall. I just CAN'T BELIEVE IT. No wonder I have so many issues.
"April, just checked your blog ......I have a confession...you WERE a clown for Halloween. I'm pretty sure I remember right. For sure Kyle was a clown his first Halloween. You were 2 1/2yrs and I think you matched. He wore red & white polka dot outfit Grandmother Nolen made. ( He didn't want us to put the white make-up on his face. He cried it off.)"
