November Photo a Day Challenge - Day 7

 

 

Looking back............................

 

 

 

This very blurry photo is of me when I was about 4 years old.  I'm in my big sisters bedroom wearing her heals and sunglasses.  I was cheeky and quite naughty - according to my mum.

 

I loved my big sister Michelle who is 15 years older than me - she treated me like her daughter and was always looking out for me (she still does).  She still loved me even after I took her red lipstick and drew all over her walls. 

 

Her room always smelt of incense and musky perfumes.  The "interesting" red velvet curtains behind me were bought with her first paycheck as a pharmacy assistant, I loved the feel of these curtains and looking at them now in this photo they were probably covered in marks from my no doubt grubby hands.

 

I have this photo on my memo board in the kitchen - I look at it everyday.  It always makes me smile and have a wee giggle to myself.

 

And if you spoke to mum she would probably tell you that I'm still cheeky but thankfully not as naughty.

 

Did you have a favourite brother or sister growing up?  And more importantly - were you good or bad?!
