I rummaged through some old photo albums to share a few gems from my early childhood which straddled the late 1970s into the 1980s.  Ready?  Ready!

I like how my brother is in some medieval contraption we used to call a "walker." And see that yellow laundry basket I'm sitting in?  I STILL OWN IT.  The basket is probably chock-full of lead, mercury and BPA to remain as durable today as it did in 1980.

I'm about two and a half years old in this photo.  Maybe my cheeks had some sort of magical static electric pull to make my brother's hair stand up like that?

I was on the fence about sharing this photo (I'm about eight years old) because of my insanely bad mouse-teeth.  But then I realized that it's because of them that I think this photo is so funny.  Good lord, my teeth were atrocious!  Thanks to great orthodontic work, I've been mouse-teeth-free since 1992.  I wish I could report similar good news about the improvement of my hairstyle, but at least I'm not sporting massive round fabric clips anymore.
