I always loved that photo. When I was a kid, I thought it was my mom and dad kissing...:)
I think it is interesting how kids develop and absorb information and make rational connections like that...
When I was young, there were several similar connections I made... the Eisenhower dollar coins had a picture of my Great Grandfather on them... the old Shop Rite grocery store logo that has a woman on it... the woman was my Grandmother.
There were other associations my young mind made. Mom had a copy of Judy Collins' album Wildflowers that she she would play often... and I thought the song Both Sides Now was sung by an angel flying around in the clouds... and nearly 40 years later, in my mind, angels (and beautiful women) have long straight hippie hair like Sweet Judy Blue Eyes... because of my exposure to that record as a young child.
It is frightening what associations young kids might make in seeing flaming homos in assless chaps making out in the middle of the street at the St. Patrick's Day parade.
