(211 posts)Oh I LOVE this discussion! So at some point in my 20s which was during the 80s, I got the BIG IDEA to gather baby photos of my friends. (I KNOW I am dating myself here
, but, well, ya know the old baby photos
.)
I contacted loads of my friends MOMS and they got RIGHT INTO IT! And they sent them to me or brought them to me. Some were really small, some a little larger, but ALL were appreciated and HILARIOUS! PICTURE the proverbial baby pictures from back then.
I framed them and tucked them around my then apartment - - beside a plant, on a mantle next to a grouping of candles, hanging on a bathroom wall with other pics. Like
.not TOO obvious, but there.
And then LET THE FUN BEGIN! As gatherings would happen, the inevitable would happen. You can kinda imagine.
Wait. Wait. Thats ME!! Thats ME! Where in the hell did you get that? Etc.
OMG - - it was truly SO MUCH FUN and all of my friends MOMS in particular LOVED it!!
Pure magic. Thanks so MUCH for this discussion - - great flashback for me!
