Caption This


Such a sad, sad day. Look at that frown.
`
This was me, nearly 30 years ago. Look at that hair.
`
There's a simple story, but I want to know what your first thoughts are. How would you caption this photo?
`
Let's make it a contest!
`
Leave your caption (one per person) as a comment. Entries will be taken until 8pm CST on Sunday, February 21. Best caption will be announced Monday, February 22. Winner will receive their choice of one of the following from me, all of which are new and in hard cover:
`
Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark
Hey, Good Looking by Fern Michaels
The Hunt Club by John Lescroart
Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah
`
All I ask is that we keep it clean, this is Little Me we're talking about. Okay, Big Me likes to keep it clean, too.
`
Now get creative and caption this!

    Hmf...I don't care if the poochy lip does get me.

    Ok, I'm bad at these, but you were adorable!

    I can't believe Mom made me wear this dress! (My caption stems from the fact that I have an almost identical picture of ME at that age, and I was very put out with the dress mom made me wear.)

    OK, I'm not very good at these either, but the first thought that came to me was: "I want my MOMMY!"

    Janna was all smiles until the photographer told her to "look at the birdie" not knowing that she was in the middle of a long, drawn-out argument with her mother because she WANTED a bird, HAD to have a bird, but her mother refused to give in.

    She ain't sad, she's sniffing! Hence:

    I just dropped my ice cream.... seems fitting. So adorable. My hair is similar to yours in my old photos. Didn't anybody have a comb and spray bottle back then???

    Little Janna was very excited to have her school picture taken. That is, until she saw the creepy Martian eating the camera.

    Oh Janna, that is SO adorable. Wow, look at that lower lip. :-)

    Hmm, I have no clue about a caption. Maybe:

    "I want my treat?"

    LOL I don't know...but I sure love everyone else's captions. Too funny!

    ACK! I just realized I'm leaving comments all around the Interwebz signed in as the 19 year old. Gotta love children--while administering corporal punishment.

    I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Thing!

    Janna, you wear the same face my daughter wore after she went to a birthday party and ate an entire tube of cake frosting. Pink.
    Yep. Gross.
