Karen: Like maybe at your old school you could kiss other girls with your hand over your mouth when you played wedding. But at this school, you can only play weddings with boys, and no kissing. I think it's interesting. The way we have all those kid things we never talk about.

Did you play pretend as a child? kphoebe and I discuss it, among other things, here, and the commenters make a lot of fascinating additions.  Please go over there and make what contributions occur to you, because I want to know all about your interesting childhoods!

It's time for me to come clean. For a long time, I've used the name "brown betty," not realizing how it would be perceived. I thought I had been relatively open about myself in my interests, discussions and icons, but I'm realizing some people still had the wrong idea. I didn't realize that name carried with it certain connotations for a lot of people, and I feel bad about misleading you. The truth must out:

I am not a crumble, I am a teapot.

I'm namesquatting at Vox, (brownbetty), in case I ever want the blog, and I have two invites. Anyone want one? ETA: No more invites!
