Little Red Riding Hood



Isn't it funny how something that happened in our early lives is with us forever?

In the first grade of elementary school, our teacher organized a skit of "Little Red Riding Hood."

More than anything else in the world, the part I wanted was to be the little red-caped girl herself. 

No grandmother, no wolf, and no hunter would suffice. I wanted to be little red riding hood.

Maybe it was the yearning look in my six-year-old eyes, or maybe it was a flair for acting shown, but I got the part!

Even now, many decades later, whenever I see anything pertaining to little red riding hood,  it brings back wonderful memories.

I continue my love of theater and am still leery of wolves.

The little dolly shown at the top of this post is now a permanent part of my doll collection.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF "LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD?"

How wonderful that you got the part of Little Red Riding Hood in first grade. Yes, I remember the story well. This doll is a special reminder of the time you wanted the part very much.....and got it! It's always a joy to see your dolls, Susan, as I'm a doll lover myself.

What a cherished memory. I had a part in the 8th grade play when I was in first grade. My line was to say something like, "Oh mother!' I played that line to the hilt on the playground. LOL
