When I owned the world

ReplyUncategorizedFebruary 11th, 2006pia

Little Pia Buddah[1].JPGThis isn’t the best picture of me, but I could scan and seperate it. My dad loved his Konica which was old even then. We were the only family to be photographed in glorious black & white, and when we moved to a “rich” area, we were the only family to have only one TV, and yes it was black & white. Somehow after my sister and I left home, my parents ended up with four color TV sets. People kept on giving them to us! Well, not me, my parents, who went from hardly ever watching TV to yelling at me for not watching TV.
Hey I was just seven; thought the world was mighty great place to be part of. Lived in NorthEast Queens, where not everybody is a fat man with a beautiful wife on a sit com. Though Weight Watchers did start in the garden apartment complex next to ours. Don’t know what that means, but I thought I would throw it in!

    You remind me a bit of the little girl from those Pepsi commercials without all the curls. Remember her? Hallie Eisenberg, only cuter.:)

    Any resemblance now?

    Hurray! A Picture! That photo shows that you, in fact, owned the world and shows why.
