Broken, Illustration Friday.
The first thing I thought of when the topic, broken, landed in my inbox was a story from my childhood. I had a feather headdress when I was about two that I'm told I wore everywhere. I remember my gram telling me I would ride my bouncy horse like a wild child wearing my feathers. My mom says that I wore them everywhere and wouldn't take them off. One day, mom says I was getting into the bath tub wearing my feathers and I slipped. I came up howling (I'm told I sounded like a fog horn when I cried as a child) with my feathers covering my eyes. She was so scared that I cracked my head open, and looked for goose-eggs and blood. "Where does it hurt?"
I wasn't worried about my head, and could only sob and say, "I broke me fetters!" |

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. It really was the first thing that popped in my head when I got the topic. I love it when I go with my instict and it works. I do love this story, especially when my mom tells it, because she starts to laugh so hard she cries. Fond memories are wonderful things, aren't they?
