Day 07 of my 30 Day photo Challenge: A picture of my most treasured item. I bet dad is already shaking his head about this one. To introduce my photo, I will tell you the back story. This particular item is one that my parents got for me before I was even born. I was inseparable with this item, and would be devastated when I misplaced him. Or even worse, when after I saw the Stan Dragoti film, Mr. Mom, I was convinced that when I lost it, that mom or dad had gotten rid of it, just as the dad in the movie, Jack, did to his son's woobie when he was becoming too old for a security blanket. (Dad had always reassured me that due to my treasured item's seniority over me, that they would get rid of ME first...) However, after countless searches in the backyard at bedtime, turning around to vacation stops to find 'Mr. Ed' as he was sometimes called, I cannot bring myself to get rid of my 'Monkey.' (I'll show you the 'after' first... then leave you with the 'before' so you end this on a happy note, and don't leave here with nightmares.
The After....
 |
| Monkey, after years of abuse: teething, bratty siblings, many travels and so on. |
And Before,
 |
| My grandfather, and his two monkeys. |
And now i'm cooled off from our bike ride, and its time for photo club! Night all!
Aw.. Mr. Ed...Like a son to me! Great story...All true! And your dinner items look great!
