Renaissance Festival

[pegkerr]

We are off to the Minnesota Ren Festival momentarily.

Delia's comment as I laced up the corset of my costume:

"Wow. I would double-knot it."

Thanks again to minnehaha B. and K. for the tickets! We'll get rained on, but we'll have fun.

Children can give such compliments :). My sister's 3 year old just commented, when they were visiting my sister's friend and her new baby, that "my granny has real wrinkles" in a proud tone of voice (my mother is 62, and her skin type is such that she doesn't really have that many wrinkles...).

A good friend of mine was playing in her livingroom, at a young age, while her parents and her aunt got ready to go out for dinner. When her aunt came out of the bathroom after putting on her makeup, my friend (apparently) looked up and said, with complete sincerity, "Oh, Aunt [name], you look beautiful! You look just like a clown!"

When I was a young one, and the movie E.T. came out, I bawled so hard I had to be taken out of the theater... and became completely enamored with all things E.T. (birthday cake, sweatshirt, plastic candy containers...)

Given that I *LOVED* E.T. and thought he was the most adorable creature ever- I didn't think I was amiss in commenting at Thanksgiving dinner that my new baby cousin was a cutie- he had huge blue eyes and reminded me of, of course, E.T. My aunt was so taken aback at being told her firstborn looked like E.T. that she cried. Everyone was angry at me, and I recall being terribly confused by the uproar.

I was eventually forgiven :P
