Hi, I'm Tracey.
I'm a geeky Gen-X writer and Parental Unit from Baltimore. I believe in early afternoon cocktails, the greatness of Jon Stewart, and that being a smartass is a virtue. More about me...

That suit sure is....flammable? I do suspect that you can be held at least partially responsible for the 1st communion dress as my daughter had quite the opinions as to what would be worn for the day - and I know I had similar opinions when I was a child.

My mom always told me she MADE my first communion dress. She lied. She just borrowed yours and passed it off as her own creation. Because it looked EXACTLY the same.
She could have at least bought me new knee socks. Sure my dad didn't have a job at the time, but that's pretty sneaky.

Oh. I had THE SAME HAIRCUT TOO.
I have to admit, your were cuter though. I had a horrifically long ackward stage.

cursingmama: as a youngin' i was all tomboy and staunchly anti-dress, so i'm guessing my mom picked that foofy thing out for me. and probably had to hold me down and forcibly apply it to my body prior to this picture being taken.
meghan: dorothy hamill in the house, yo.

Sweetney: There are so many wonderful things about this picture, but I have to say that my favorite is the look on your face.
Meghan: I think your mom must have given the dress to my mom after you wore it. Unfortunately, no one's mom passed on that cute hair ornament to my mom. Instead, I had "baby's breath" in my hair.
And finally, I had the same hair cut and could swear that I used some shampoo that had Dorothy Hamil's picture on it. Does that ring a bell with anyone else?
