photographic memory

This question makes me smile...I can see the two of us together sitting on the side of the graduation stage, red carnations in hand, little dresses spread across the stage. I'm in a pair of metal shoes, well, the shoes themselves aren't metal, but I have these braces on my legs. My cousin sits next to me, a little bit of a sad expression on her face. I suppose we were a tad bit bored...it wasn't our graduation we were just guests. It's kinda funny, out of all the photographs I could remember, this is the one that sticks out the most. One I didn't even take myself. When I think of or even see this image of our two year old selves, I am often reminded that we were together even before we were born. Days upon days have been spent in the company of the other, so much so that like twins, we often finish sentences for the other and more often than not, words are not even needed between us.

It is kinda obvious, the changes I mean. LOL, I'm not wearing braces anymore. We are of course much older and no longer hold on the the innocence that our expressions portrayed then. Sometimes we're not as close...the place is not there anymore. It has been replaced by a newer gymnasium. I'm sure that if I had to re-enact this scene now, we wouldn't be wearing those white and pale yellow frilly little dresses. I would surely nix the braces cause who wants to be reminded that they wore those atrocious things? Her hair would be combed...better at least. I can hear her saying that she hates the fact that her hair was uncombed...LOL. Yeah I would totally change that.
