Lille Ingo



One day Ingo went to buy a cigar.
I didn´t want to join so I waited outside and saw this cute donkey in the next shop.

See his red shorts?
The suspenders are crossed on the back.



When Ingo was little his parents were poor and the shorts he got were too large - and hence lasted two summers, so to make them fit they crossed the suspenders in the front, too.

I just HAD to buy this lille donkey, right?







I hence call the donkey "lille Ingo" :-)



Two Ingos in the house!

Btw... I played on that very same playground 7 years later.



Lion of the day for a change.

Cute "little Ingo". In our house with 3 girls my clothes were handed down to both my sisters.

Little real Ingo was cute as a button and so are both the present-day Ingos! I love the shorts story!

Love the old photos Iris, it's always lovely to see pics of our parents when they were young. Is little Ingo coming to Perth on this trip? 😉

Sami, yes, that´s what T told me, too - he was the youngest of three boys.
I´m the older one everything new and when my Bro was confirmed many an old customer of my parents mistook his name from Helge (male) to Helga (female) and he got loads of girly stuff he gave to me then ;-)

Jeanie: Agreed :-)
My Cute-button-guys :-)
