Weirdest Thing...

One of the blogs I read regularly wants to know the weirdest thing I own. I am not sure that in acuality it is the weirdest thing I own, but when people hear about it, they think I am weird. So I thought I would share though I don't really want a poodle painting.

See once upon a time I was 20 and had a baby boy....

and when that baby boy was about 18 months old, and I was a single mom with no other children even twinkling in my eyes....

and everyone I knew only had boys or no children at all....

I went thrift store shopping with my sister (woo hoo La Sirena!!!)...

and there it was for $1....

THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER......

A WONDER (effing) WOMAN BATHING SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I bought it, because one day I knew that either me or my sisters would have a little girl and that little girl would NEED a wonder woman bathing suit and the chances of finding another were slim to none...........

and I saved it, for 6.5 years......

and finally had my little girl....


and that little girl had her Wonder Woman bathing suit, BUT...

I couldn't get rid of it...

BECAUSE someday my little girl might have a little girl, and that little girl will also NEED to have a Wonder Woman bathing suit!!! But until then.....

*Side note the Monkey ended up in a lot of great games after I took its picture, with lots of "Great Hera"s.


I love what I've done to my daughter!!

Ok, I think we were separated at birth! That is something I would totally do! I love it. It looks amazing on your daughter, but the monkey sports it well, I have to say. What a find for a dollar! And, with inflation, 6.5 years later, it's priceless.

I think we need to start a cottage industry for Wonder Woman bathing suits.

Great Hera! You may have done that to your daughter, but I did it to you. (Karen and Maria are still mad at me for never letting anyone else be Wonder Woman when we were little kids.)
