Bobbsey Twins

Memory Lane… I scan an old random photo and discuss the story behind the photo.  I may regret this decision later on… my friends definitely will.

This is a photo of me and my friend Kristen in Junior High on our way to some Halloween party.  We had nothing to wear and everyone was dressing up, so this was our attempt at costumes - we were the Bobbsey Twins… except we were not mixed-gender fraternal twins like the real Bobbsey Twins, we were just a couple of retards.  I remember laughing so damn hard this night curling our bangs, putting on those stupid suspenders (that hiked our awesome rolled up jean shorts up our crotches giving us mega camel-toes) and then seriously searching the house for “accessories” to attach to the suspenders - I went with a lovely squeaky frog and she chose an elegant hot dog man that you could squeeze his back and open his arms.  But that was what was so great about most of my friendships - it took next to nothing to make us laugh for hours.  It is still like that with my friends.
