RE: Impressions of the Third Grade: Collage Community Contest #1
Cauliflower ears!!! I'll bet you looked cute and just didn't know it. Outlandish clothes hand-sewn by your mother. If only grade school kids admired the originality of others rather than conformity. You would have been my favorite person--and @agmoore2, if she and I ever looked up from our books. I hardly ever did. I read on the school bus as it bounced over gravel roads. No wonder my eyesight went bad so early in life.
You all are awesome - your comments are as good as your blogs - I'm so glad to be in your company!
No Carol, believe me, I didn't. My mother worked for a time in a women's nylon overall factory and pinched a lot of cloth, like the pic below, which she made into clothes for me. Only when she was drunk though. When she was sober she realised she was no seamstress.

You are a born storyteller!!!!
Your voice is so authentic, riveting, and memorable!!!!
And that house dress... oh Lord... I hope it was only the fabric, not the pattern, that she dressed you in....
