In an act that caused mental scars I carry to this day, my Mum sent me, and two younger siblings, to a party in matching ankle-length tartan nylon frocks, with interesting frills on the shoulders, and a large white ruffle down the front. This would have been fine, were it not for the 6-8 year age gap between us .... even now I shudder.
I was reminded of this today, as I sifted through some old photos and realised DD1 (then 1) and DSD (then 10) had spent the greater part of a family holiday in matching hairstyles - right down to the hair clips.
Is this some form of post-natal vision impairment? Is it correctable?
