Revenge is a Dish Best Served Tartan

Taking a break this week, so please enjoy this hideous picture of me as a child. I think it’s fair to say that every mother somehow exacts revenge on all her children for the state they leave her undercarriage. I can only assume, judging by those glasses, that I had been a particularly eye-watering birth.

No, it was not school uniform and yes, I had tartan trousers also.

      Not that bad?! Are you kidding? Do I need to point out the tartan shirt with the jumper that says TARTAN, just in case you weren’t sure?

    Judging by your avatar photo, it appears you made a full recovery 🙂

      It took years of therapy and a small obsession with Chanel cosmetics.

    Pretty feet, really. stop spreading the myth that babies wreck vaginas. It’s bad publicity for those of us who have actually popped a couple. And it’s not necessarily true. Mine’s fine. Granted it took a couple of years and a fair number if pelvic floor exercises. But’s it’s moreorless back to normal so quit your scaremongering.

      Vagina fine – perineum, not so much!

        I know what happens when you laugh too hard…

      Scaremongering? HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE GLASSES?! I rest my case.

    Oh dear God NO!
    Na, you looked cute, albeit a little geeky. But hey, you should see MY pictures from around that time. You look like a supermodel by comparison! 🙂

      A supermodel who wouldn’t be able to fit her cheeks through a door and whose glasses could have been donated by an evil clown? Yep, sure.

    I’m late to this party, but regardless of what you say, that’s a darling girl.

      Often mistaken for a darling boy at that tender age. Didn’t leave me with a complex. At. All.

    Perhaps, your mother decided you were so very pretty that she needed to hide a bit of it under the glasses. They are, after all, rather obvious.

      Now that is a delightful thought. She will be most pleased with that one.

      I’m still holding on to my theory though.

        Yes, I imagine you are.

    Are you still there, PFPT? It’s been over three months without a peep. I’m a little concerned about my favorite, irreverent Brit.

    1. prettyfeetpoptoe Avatar

      Hello dear Sandy Sue, fear not, all is well and biro-stabbingtastic in the world of PFPT. I’m building up to a triumphant return as soon as life stops getting in the way. Watch this space.

    Long time no talk. I hope all is well with my favorite British person. I do miss your witterings.

      Hello dear darling one! All is well on this side of the pond. How are things now you’ve gone back over to yours?
