The other day, Claire was reading one of the books from my childhood. I have a bunch of books from the past, and they’ve seen better days. We try to be careful with them, and I won’t let her play with the ones that are literally disintegrating.
But, this one isn’t too bad.

The Animal Show is one of her favorite books.
It is inscribed in the front. The copyright is MCMLXV, which is 1965 by my calculations.
It is to Me from my Grandparents, for Christmas…1975!
Whenever we get to the Grandmother Grundy Poem…
Claire says…
“Look, Momma! They have your glasses! It’s your glasses!”
*gasp*
So they are! (It’s hard to tell by the angle that they’re sitting on the book, but they look almost identical to Grandmother Grundy’s!)
Part of me is taken aback. I guess everything old is new again! Or, maybe I’m just old! Or, maybe…maybe Granny’s got style!

Hey – cool!! You should totally get the matching pink dress and apron.
XUP – Totally! I’d have to grow my hair out again. With my old style, I could have rocked the bun, too!
