Firsts: Picture Day

Dad took one look at my first school photo and said I looked like a playground lothario. Sometimes he uses big words that stump me. All I know is that when I take a look at this pic I have an urge to use the word hither. 


This is actually a photo that was taken before I had my first haircut and just as I was reaching toddlerhood. Ah, youth. I remember my mom and one of my teachers discussing the theory of how the rebellious toddlerhood is like a prequel to being a teenager. Though I'm loath to admit it, there may actually be photographic evidence here that my mom is right. I spy with with my little eye a teeny red stress zit on my upper lip! How embarrassing! Hey girl, why don't you come over here and sit with me on this swing and we can talk about it.
