SECRETS FROM THE PAST~INCLUDING A SPECIAL SECRET

 Some of you will be too young to relate to this post.

Some things bring my mind right back 
to a certain
MOMENT IN TIME.

A while ago I spotted something in the store
that made me stop and stare.
It was THIS!
PRELL!

My mother washed my hair 
with this for years.
I had to have some for old times sake!
It is probably like using 
dishwashing liquid
 on your hair
but I sure do love the smell 
and the memories that accompany it.

When I got to be a teenager 
I declared my independence!
Yes! I! Did!
I bought this instead.
Yes'm - I was a Breck girl.
Yes- I washed my hair with BRECK
but prior to that I brushed my teeth with
IPANA.

It came in one of those 
horrible old metallic tubes
that rusted and hardened like
 gun metal as you emptied it.
THAT  was my mother's choice 
and when I was a teenager
I chose
Don't forget your white gloves, ladies.
Let's hope your teeth are that white 
from using Crest!

After brushing my teeth 
I would get dressed for the day.
My mother's choice for me
was something like this
only mine would have been 
about 8" from the floor...don't ask.
Let's just say I scandalized 
everyone in sight
the day I showed up in this:
Yes-That is really me! 
I was definitely a thorn 
in my mother's side.

Seriously.
The one thing she 
COULD NOT BELIEVE?
That I threw 
THESE AWAY
You used THOSE with one of these beauties
Those were the most miserable
things ever- I am sure they were
invented by some man!

As soon as I saw the ad 
I rushed out and bought these.
imageWHY did I buy these?Well, I bought those because theADVERTISEMENT SAID:
I could swim, play games
and, best of all,
I could 
GO FLY A KITE
which is exactly what my mother
often told me to do!

How about you?
Any Girls Only Stories you want to share?
Mums (deodorant)  the word here.
After all, 
YOU KNOW
I can keep a 
C'mon- Tell All

I might be up to 'sumthin'....
