I'm blaming childbirth.

*Current recreation of said old photo.

*Scene: Melyssa and I are sitting on the lounge watching TV. Melyssa is looking through my archives and I see her pull up a picture. (Go look, I'll wait.) She looks at me, looks at the picture, and looks back at me.

"Hey hon, look at this picture. It doesn't look anything like you! Do you even recognize this chick?"

"Jesus! Who IS that?! Why do I look so different? Is it just the hair? And no glasses?"

Melyssa pats my cheek and smooths my hair looking at me sweetly.

"Aww... you look tired. You need a week off."
