I know, I've already posted this picture of my mom last year when I told the internet that she accidentally brushed her teeth with hemorrhoid cream, but I love looking at old pictures. I like to imagine what life was like for her back then with 3 brothers, and later, only 2. I also wonder how they fit a family of 6 in that car AND in that house--which is now used for storage.
And since her 61st birthday this year falls on Poetry Friday, I've promised not to tell any embarrassing stories this time. Instead, here's a lovely poem by J. Lorraine Brown called Tintype on the Pond ,1925. Happy Birthday Momma!

Hemorrhoid cream? Really? Oooohhhhh!

I once heard a similar story from another parent but it was their child that squeezed out all the toothpaste and then put the hemorrhoid cream tube together with the toothpaste tube and managed to fill the toothpaste tube up with the hemi cream.

Happy birthday to your mom! I really love old photos like that. It crazy to think of all the modern things we have these days that we take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI love old photos. I get a lot of flack for taking pictures of every moment but I have a trunk full of memories that one day my kids will show there grandkids and hopefully some of those "old" photos will be as precious to my kids as this photo is to you.

I almost did the same thing once. I mistook someone else's little white tube for their travel sized toothpaste. That's what you get for forgetting your own toothpaste!
