What did you look like when you were young…

I have been saving this photo for a fiction story about my young archeological discoveries, but what the heck.

As a boomer kid in the early 60s, before getting my first fedora hat, I wandered far from home, like 5 miles or so.

I was wearing a multi-colored horizontally striped shirt and kaki short pants with large pockets. We called them jungle pants because that's the sort of things we saw on Black and White TV movies about great white hunters and explorers.

Butch haircuts were still in fashion back then because they were the easiest and fastest haircuts to give with clippers. So yeah, no hat and very short hair is my appearance that day.

Anyways, the town I was born in had grown since the war. The one room school house had been abandoned in favor of multi campus elementary schools. But I knew where to find the derelict structure. Down where the old founders built it, before the town relocated to where the stage coach routes were easiest.

So here is what I found inside.

I think it may be classified as an important archeological find.

I took the picture but not the artifact itself because that would be stealing. No museum has offered money for the photo however. Too bad.

Wow! That is cool! Thank you for sharing this!

You had a perfect bowl cut!

LOL It was worse than that as I did it myself. So the bowl was at an angle not straight like in the picture. To make things worse after the initial cutting, I started snipping away at the bangs, first one side, then the other side, then the other side again...and the bangs ended up jagged and high up. It was horrible.

I mean it must have been the style for kids back then, what other explanation could there be, especially when I had the choice not to do it to myself. lol

It looked like this. This is not a pic of me.

Horrible. I think I recall a few people asking me what happened to my hair. I slunk away in shame.

As hard as it to believe, I actually looked even better than I do now. I started as a square jaw toddler chick magnet and wound up being a swarthy elderly boomer.

I do not know if I can quantify myself as a child, but I will try.   Stay tuned.
