And somehow I like this photo! This kid, she’s cheerful. Stripes, zippy Lacoste alligator, shag hair. She’s too young to care about much. And with those teeth, you know she must be a reader.
My recollection is this photo is from fourth grade with Mr Saslow. The fall that Julie Granger swung the sledgehammer backwards and whaled me on the head. I was fine but maybe that explains the hat? She’s doing ok, this little girl. Things will get tough for her later but for right now, 1984ish, little Elizabeth is right where she’s supposed to be.
Do you remember a school photo? What grade? What were you wearing?
love this pic. I remember my 7th grade photo--Catholic school white starchy cotton blouse and too long bangs in a David Cassidy shag that stylists still try to give me to this day unless I tell them I don't want it.
David Cassidy! if I close my eyes tight I can see you in my mind’s eye with that hair. Hilarious that stylists still want to give you this cut! Thanks for sharing.
yes- and I’m now having to change the reference because I’m realizing some stylists are too young to know him- and might nod like they do-but then they do the David on my hair anyways!
that is funny. Now you have me thinking of David Niven at the Oscars in 1974 when that naked guy (like Michelangelo’s David) streaked behind him onstage.
I see a little girl being authentically herself. I see her future daughter mirrored in her face.
Awww....I love that you see that. And no one EVER thinks my daughter looks like me so that's a beautiful noticing to read too. XOX.

LOL, “The David”! I close my eyes and see 17 feet of white marble. HAHAHA!
