Once Upon a Time


There was a  boy

                               And a girl

They were both young, they both liked to be fashionable. They both had big hair. But, they didn't know each other. At all.

Fate stepped in and sent them both to the same college.








Once they met each other it was instant love & they were engaged......

                                     











And then they got married.
Her hair was so big then that the photos for this event are not included (But really I couldn't find one, a decent one)





And then...............






 they had a son

Who was in-fact a very happy child. Even when his mother "made" his hair big. And took photos of him in the shower.





Not much later....


they had a daughter.
Who learned at an early age to have a sense of humor. And also patience and long-suffering.






Then when they really wished for another baby,but couldn't have one they decided to do something heroic










They got a dog.


This really helped them not think so much about needing another baby.








But this only lasted for a few years until 




A little girl moved in and stayed for over 7 years. 


And she brought with her a brother

And life was challenging. But good.








But the happy couple knew that even with all of these blessings, something was missing.

So they traveled to a far away place and..


Brought back a boy.





But he needed a little sister of his own. And they all needed that little girl more than they knew.


So they traveled to a far away place again








And brought back a sister.

The couple now knew that their family was complete.





But something was still missing





and it wasn't happiness






Or intellectual conversation




Or pride in their childrens' accomplishments



They weren't missing-out on fun things to do,




or on challenges to face and conquer




It seemed. At least to the girl. That the only thing she could possibly be missing after 23 years of bliss.











Was her BIG hair.

After all, everything else about their lives was bigger and better than she had ever expected.


And so even without her big hair (and may it never return) they lived Happily Ever After




The End.

Great post, Ginger. I'm so glad that your sense of humor is as big as your hair used to be. Gee whiz, I miss big hair sometimes. Anyways, like I said, very well done.
