I remember this day like it was yesterday. The dress mommy made me wear was way too small for me. Mommy was getting the little girls ready for Uncle Frank to come over to take our picture. I started having such a tantrum. Mommy, I cannot wear that dress. I was screaming, Amy was screaming and we were crying until Uncle Frank came over. Mommy said, just put the dress on. I put the dress on and we took the picture and Uncle Frank smiled at us, like we were little angels. I was losing my breath from a dress that was cutting off my circulation in my chest.
When he left, I ran upstairs to take the dress off. I pulled it over my dress and got stuck. I had forgotten to unzip it. I was unbelievably claustrophobic then and now. I was screaming, Help, please somebody help me please, I am stuck. Julia looked at me with my dress over my head and started screaming, it's a monster! We went back and forth upstairs screaming and crying about the dress until Mommy came to untangle me from the zipped, too tight dress. What a spectacle we were! What fun to be screaming and crying together and still live to talk about it.:)

It's a foggy memory, for me. I seem to recall how excited mom & dad were cleaning the house the base boards to prepare for the Uncle Franks visit. I remember the yelling before and the relief that I could smile for real. Now looking at the dress I see it all now. Wow great memory Jayne keep them coming.
I always remember the times when I got stuck. That one Ju kept calling me a monster and running away from me. Another time we were playing hide and seek and my hair got stuck in the springs under the bed. I was screaming and crying and nobody would help me. That is why I remember that day.
