Me - Age 6 by onewing

Me - Age 6

Day 3 of the FoR portrait challenge and here I am at primary school.

Mum always put a ribbon in my hair but as I was a bit of a tomboy at school the bow had drooped slightly by the time the school photographer came.

I remember this day well because during afternoon playtime, after the photographer had been and gone, I put my head through the school railings and got stuck. The fire brigade had to be called and had to bend the railings and to get me out.

For the rest of my time at the school classmates remarked that the bent railings were when Barbara got her head stuck. That was my claim to fame at primary school.

Thanks for putting yesterday's 'baking day' photo on the tp and the pp. I think I have got beyond cute now and more into the tomboy stage of life for the rest of this weeks photos.
What a delightful photo and story, your children must have been rather amused hearing that :)

My ribs are aching from laughing at “ Barbara getting her head stuck”. Great little photo just the same. I bet you had friends and maybe you enjoyed ART.

I can’t image this darling little girl causing such a panic later in the day!
February 17th, 2021  
Ah, she lives in infamy! So adorable.

Ha ha, what an excellent story! Laughed out loud, brilliant. Cute pic

Oh Babs! I am loving your photos & stories..
February 17th, 2021  
OMG that must have been a horrible experience for you. My son once got his leg stuck between two planks of a seat when we were out for a stroll. I was already prepared to rush home and get a saw to free him. But then some pressure with my arms on the planks was enough to set him free. You looked cute at that age.

Great school photograph Babs, I managed to get my right arm down the wall bars in the main hall whilst running along them, broke my arm, they said they could hear me scream all over the school:)
February 17th, 2021  
Oh Babs, you have caused merriment here this morning! I had ribbons too.

What a lovely photo! And I know there are more kids getting their head stuck.... My son did it when he was 6 on railing along the stairs... we got him out ourselves, but it wasn't easy!
February 17th, 2021

February 17th, 2021  
Full of character and sounds like you had lots of adventures at school.

Quite the story...good thing you didn’t get stuck before the photo.

You certainly look more grown up in this photo. I probably couldn’t keep bows in either.
February 18th, 2021  
Great shot! Love the drooping bow detail...and I'm still laughing about your poor head. You do have a way with a story!
February 18th, 2021  
Cute!

Sweet photo and great memory too. :)
February 18th, 2021  
Haha! My brother did that at the same age and got his head stuck in the convent gates - the nuns came out, smothered his head in butter and pulled him out by his legs :D
February 20th, 2021  
Great story, I’m sure you have many more to tell.
