As green as the grass on your front lawn
I was the stupidest wretch on earth when I left home at 20 years old. How I managed to tie my own shoe laces, God only knows. And the look on my mum and dad's faces when I left looked like the face you wear at a funeral. Anyway, yesterday evening, I met up with two girls who I made friends with when I left home. Jess and Max were my upstairs neighbours. They were 20 years old like me and as wet behind the ears as I was.
We were talking about how grown up we thought we were back then because we were working, paying bills, had the key to our own front door with a fridge, cooker and TV but I don't know how we managed to get out alive because we were all so naïve. I say that now looking back, but I guess my mature eyes are looking at the past with so much more experience. Knowing how green I used to be, I'm surprised I breezed through it all without going berserk or causing major havoc.
Me, Jess and Max have all lived through each others highs and lows, but we laughed and laughed and laughed yesterday. I guess there's something to treasure when you're young and naïve.

Oh to be young and foolish! I sometimes wish I could do it all again and I sometimes say I wouldn;t wish it on my worst enemie.
If you don't laugh, you cry. Or something inbetween.
The look that you wear at a funeral is the face my dad wore when I got my ears peirced four times, when I got my tattoo, when I announced I was pregnat without engagement ring muchless wedding, when I gained 50lbs and when I said I was going back to school! I know it well LMAO ;o}
