I am Not a Hippopotamus, I am a Little Girl

The Lyndee's "Come With Me Series" is adventures in a child's formative years. The experiences of life growing up in a family of seven children, being taunted by siblings, other children and adults because of my size only dampened my outlook about myself for a moment. I was sad and cried but the hurts were stored inside and a smile returned. The 99 on Lyndee's clothes is a reminder of a time in life when my Mother purchased a pair of jeans for me from a Thrift Store with the number 99 on the pocket of the jeans. I worked in the fields picking strawberries when I was six years old and wore my 99 jeans regularly. The other workers began calling me 99. I would smile thinking to myself that they must really like to give me such a special name. Thanks for joining me and sharing with the children of the world Lyndee's "Come With Me Series." "Come with me on my next adventure ... The Croker Sack Bunny."
