Hanging out to Dry

“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size”



~ Mark Twain (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)

First of all, I love the quote that goes with the photo! The photo, while reminding me of similar washings and dryings I've done for my kids, reminds me of more sinister hangings/impalings in the Middle Ages!! :>)

It really does capture your attention, doesn't it? A bit on the creepy side at first impression, but then when you look at their expressions you can really let the imagination roll!!:) It's the little things in life (like noticing scenes like this one) that add spice to the daily monotony, really. Thanks for sharing.

This one is just a little bit creepy. A fine photograph, but it has a rather unnerving effect.

Holy smokes. This is almost depressing.

Slightly disturbing image. Guess that says something about me!

Great quote. Very true.

This is kind of freaky and month appropriate.

It's silly and funny and odd and sweet and I don't know, a bunch of things rolled into one. I love the quote.

i wonder if they really washed all those dolls! :)

Love that quote. And it's so true too!

That's very tentalising ! I would appreciate some times to do the same with Gabriel. Immobilizing him....just for a few minutes, pleeease !

I still have my dolls at my mother's house in the attic in a box...

Virginia said...

Well no fear. I can tell you that I washed and scrubbed my daughters' babies many times. They need a good cleaning from time to time. I love this image I guess because I have those memories. And as Peter said, "Not real babies"! Thankfully
