OK, here's the real story, at least what can be remembered from 60 + years ago.
My Aunt K, (Mom's younger sister) who read my blog entry, said that she remembered her dad teasing her that yes, he was once a little girl, and had the picture to prove it. And there it is, above.
My grandfather died at a very young age of a massive heart attack. I never met him. I wish him Happy Father's Day however and think of him this time of year. Why? Because this is the time of year that kids say - "Gee, there is Mother's Day, and Father's Day - when is it Kid's Day?" My mom says his answer was always - "EVERY DAY is Kid's day!"

This is a vintage carte de visite that I purchased some time ago in an antiques store not far from where I live. These sweet children are from Ploughkeepsie NY and this picture was probably taken before 1910. Someone went wild with the curling iron!
I wonder if the child with the long dark ringlets is a boy. In those days, all little ones were dressed in skirts. My mom tells a story about her father, my grandfather. When she and her brother were acting up, he would solemnly say,
"When I was a little girl, we never acted like this!"
"Oh, dad, you were never a little girl!" they would reply.
"Oh no?" And he would pull out a photo much like this of him and his younger brother, dressed in white blouses, skirts, and stockings. That silenced them!

This is Brandon's Star. I am making a set of these for the Spring fling swap that is active on a Dear Jane quilt mailing list.
