| Patty Pickle and the Brownies |
| Monday, July 04, 2005 |
I am contemplating my evolution as a person. And I have decided that Patty Pickle and the Brownies have been highly influential in my development. Don't laugh.
Patty Pickle was a comic strip character in my fave girl comic. Patty Pickle was ditsy incarnate. She hung out the washing - and dropped it in the mud. She made a drink - and spilt it. You get the idea.
My inner Patty is not a new thing - it began in childhood when I was dubbed 'Patty Pickle' due to more than the usual number of spilling/breaking occasions. Then, well, you can't help but take on the persona. Well that's my excuse.
Anyway I'm embracing Patty Pickle as the Queen of Ditsy.
I know I'm talking purely to the 30-something woman when I talk about the importance of the Brownies. This is what I have to say: What were we thinking??!!!!! That brown sack dress. Ugh. Doing Brown Owl's ironing for a badge. Jeeeeeez! (I'm sure our Brown Owl led the Brownies just so she could get her house work done.)
"I promise that I will do my best, do my duty to God, Serve the Queen (Patty Pickle), help other people and keep the Brownie Guide law." But sorry I'm not wearing any mission brown sack dresses. |
