“Froghide Maria” ~ My little girl, now 7, is a pistol!
If I only wrote them all down, I’d have a book.
I have lifelong issues with “Sound of Music”, too; when I stepped out of the theatre at the tender age of 4, I had fallen madly in love for the first time in my life, with a defrocked, post-adolescent, german postulant with an english accent who goes on to marry an Austrian naval officer (please note; Austria is completely landlocked) who is being pursued by Nazis.
It mirrors the the paradox of my entire romantic life for years to come,...but in a good way. ;0)
Just to rub that in there is a tourist clothing store here called Edelweiss Haus that has several pairs of leiderhausen in the windows. After decades I think they finally sold out and there's a new store now.
Your wee ones sound adorable. Great anecdotes!
