Remember that classic song that goes "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to. You would cry to if it happened to you." Ahh.. me too! I remember it so well that sometimes I think I wrote it. I'm not sure of the year, but judging by how old Dana looks in this picture I'm guessing it was about 1991. That would mean that Candice was turning 12. Do you see those shiny new ROLLERBLADES on Dana's foot? Yes those are the ones that I'm writing about today.
It wasn't infact MY birthday party. No, it was my sisters. Her birthday is almost exactly 3 months after mine, so I had recently received my fill of gifts. But this particular afternoon as the family gathered round to watch her open up the latest trendy items, everything was was happy and wonderful. That is until she opened THEM. I promptly burst into tears announcing that I wanted them. Now thinking back I realize how completely ridiculous that was, I was only what, 7? But at the time it seemed as if my entired would just came crashing down because how dare my parents give HER rollerblades for HER birthday and not even consider me?
Luckily for me, I have the best sister in the whole world, and before she ever even tried them on for size she helped me lace up and held my hand while I tried my hardest to stay up right as she took me for a ride down the street and back. Now that's love!
