Brutal Honesty.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Funny Stuff+ Katie


KB was rummaging through my pictures earlier and found this lovely Olan Mills portrait dated 1990. I explained to her that this was from when I was in high school (I was 17). She said, “Mommy, I liked you so much better in high school. You were SO much prettier then.”
That’s it. I’m calling Dr. 90210.

    Thank goodness for eyebrow wax. And nope, I’m WAAAAYYYYYYYYY younger than you. Robert E. Lee, Class of 1991. 🙂 You’re thinking of my cradle-robbing husband.
