A couple weeks ago, one of the little girls at church was wearing a yellow dress with a lace collar and I while was looking at it, it suddenly dawned on me that it was "one of those dresses!". When I was her age (9-10ish) there were these dresses, made by My Michelle, I think; they came in various colors and fabrics, but they all had the same exact lace collar. As I recall, all the other girls my age also had one in one of the many colors they came in.
This was the only photo I could find of one of those collars.
So I of course had to tell this girl about those dresses being around when I was little. To her credit she didn't look bored. Maybe I was just an easily irritated little kid. I guess I am and always have been sensitive to anything that seems condescending, which in retrospect, stories like that are not. :P At any rate, I'll try to remember to keep my irritating exclamations to myself...or just say what the heck, and be an annoying older person... Hmm, sounds like a plan. :D
Have done this? And if you're a girl, did you have one of those dresses when you were a kid?

Yes, I had one of those dresses. But no, I haven't done the old person thing. :P
I don't know if I had a My Michelle... but I certainly had a few dresses that had lace collars.
I haven't done that... don't know as I've had an opportunity though, since I don't recall actually seeing a girl wearing one of those dresses. I have done the "old person" so-what's-your-favorite-school-subject question. I couldn't believe myself when I heard myself say it... =P
I agree... we should just be annoying older people. It's kinda fun, actually... ^_^
I do that, too!!! I tell the little kids about "I used to," or "When I was your age." I feel rather silly and old, too. But, being older than you, I'm going to say, welcome to "old age Natalie." ;)
lol, great post! I don't remember having a dress like that, but it does like REALLY familiar. :D
Thanks for the blog comment, btw! :)
