Freak out your kids
I’m Margo’s better half - Joff. I asked Margo if I could do a guest blog post to write about a fun idea I had tonight. Hanging on our dinning room table is a framed picture of my family when I was a young boy about the age of my 4 year old.
I took the old photo out of it’s frame, scanned it, and then submitted a flattenme order for Here There Be Pirates. I can’t wait to read my son a book that stars me as a young 4 year old. I don’t think he realizes I was once young like him.
It’s sure to bring some smiles and giggles.
When I told Margo what I was up to she said I was not the first! There have been a number of orders from parents and even grandparents who scanned in old pictures of themselves. I love it!
Off to dig up a photo of my mom (aka Nonnie) when she was a kid …

Hehehe. Great idea, Joff! I’ve thought about doing one of me — at my Current Age!
