So I got my blog name from childhood. Anybody who knows me in the real world, not on Twitter or Facebook etc but actually spent any time with me will know that I'm in my own little world. My Mam used to call me Dollydaydreams and that I live in an Airy Fairy world. I'm a dreamer. I think anything can happen. I think, why not? I'm a bit innocent and very gullible. When I was about 14, my 10 year old sister told me that she'd found a secret doorway to Narnia, in Mam and Dad's wardrobe behind the stack of towels. Well, I was soooooooooooooo excited. She told me we couldn't go till after dinner and not to tell my other brother or sister. So after dinner, I crawled into the wardrobe and started secret knocking on every part of the back of the wardrobe. When no door sprung open (surprise, surprise) I crawled out of the wardrobe to see her giggling from behind her pillow and I said to her "I'll try again later" ha ha ha ha ha! To this day we laugh about it.
Gummygumdrops is exactly as you'd expect. My dad called me that because just before my communion when I was 7 I believe, my teeth all fell out at the front. I was warned not to smile with my mouth open by my mam cos she didn't want the photo's ruined. Now this would have been understandable (ish) if it wasn't for the fact that she made me wear my brown health service glasses with a patch over one of the lenses!! I mean WTF????? My lack of teeth didn't ruin the photo's. The Jack Duckworth specs totally did ha ha. I can empathize somewhat with my Mam though. When my own daughther made her communion last year, I was hoping that her wobbly front teeth wouldn't fall out beforehand, and they didn't. (I'm resisting the urge to put Thank God at the end of that sentence like my Mam does)
