I found a picture of you a few years back. :)

Being A Kid

Being a kid means never having to say you’re sorry, and mean it!
It means someone will come along and fix it, you can play.
It means that tiny things can mean a lot to you, a marble, or a peanut,
And you will get to eat, before your stomach says, “Okay!”

And someone will remind you that you need to sleep.

It means you know someone who always has the money,
To operate the candy vending thing, and will.
But makes you do those silly things like ask,
And won’t cooperate with voices that are shrill.

Someone who thinks a promise is to keep.

It means that all you ever have to do is play,
‘Cause that’s the way you learn things, don’t you know?
And they will praise you for the funny things you say,
Unless you got them staying up to watch a show!

And they’ll carry you uphill when it is steep.

Yep! That must be me, all right. The neighbors used to call me "Carrot Top."

More recently, my hair color has been mistaken for blond, but there is really little evidence to support that observation.

What can I say?

Another perfect graphic.

Thank you both.
