Why did I grow up thinking I was fat?

Look at that pretty little girl! And, she is not fat at all. She looks pretty and perfect to me.

I hope she remembered to take her shoes off before getting into the tub! LOL

Not fat at all. Normal and healthy. Cute kid! (and a beautiful woman)

Thank you, both!

This was among the pictures I received Monday from my mother, via my sister. She sent me everything that included me or my kids, including pictures I haven't seen in decades, like this one.

Interesting that I can see the cinder block construction of the wall behind me in this photo -- Chicago housing projects. I also don't have any context for why I was photographed sitting on the edge of the bathtub ... but it does bring back a memory of the day when my little brother (Speedy Gonzales) was zipping around the house and managed to crack his head open on the edge of this tub. Blood spurting, my mother holding the edges of the wound together. That kid sure got a lot of bumps, cuts, and bruises before his 5th birthday because he just wouldn't slow down!
