Who am I? - Heritage Day post

When Fable Fairy suggested this group post in honour of Heritage day, my mind went flying. My mom got a call, as well as an interview. She remembered stuff that was way too long ago for me to remember!

Who were you when you grew up, what did you wear, play with and where do you come from?

It started on 18 March 1976. First child to two "hippies". Mother wanted a daughter to dress up and father wanted a son to help mow the lawn. Well Pa won. I loved helping my father in the garden and rummaging through the garage. Preferred playing with cars, balls and slept with my plastic scooter. A real tomboy...

What did you dress me in Ma?
Ma: I loved dressing you up in frilly, girly dresses, pink skirts with white tops and pull-over jerseys. Your hair was done in a different style twice a day. Pigtails, pony at the back etc. You loved your corduroy pants, jeans, takkies and polo necks! Three years later the terror came, that is my younger brother, and my single child bliss was forever gone.

Still have two of the dresses and a pair of shoes.

I remember:

Loved these overalls and hot pants!

Mechanic versus catwalk model - bwahahaha



What was my favourite toy Ma?

Ma: You loved your Rosie doll! After that it was your very first Barbie. Do you remember the hiding you got when you cut off all her hair? You also loved anything with wheels. Your favourite was your yellow scooter.

I remember:

Loved playing with my brother's Dinky Toys. He also had this awesome electric car set with  race tracks and remotes the works - loved that too! Riding a bicycle was also top of the list. My father also built us swings with one rubber swing and one wooden bench and spent a lot of time on those!

Bikes and swings!



My partner in crime - baby brother. (Check that purple track suit.)

Happy Heritage Day!
