Let’s take a break and have a Funday Friday

Two weeks ago, I wrote about trips around Wisconsin that my family took one year when I was a kid. I talked about picking cherries in Algoma and that I couldn’t find the picture I was thinking of.

Guess what? I found it; here it is. But looking at that picture reminded me of a hysterical and inappropriate story. 

Back in the sixties and seventies, Ajax Powdered Cleanser advertised that the white powder was sprinkled with blue dots which were more effective cleaning agents, instilled with bleach. At the time, Mom had a shirt which had blue dots on it, which she is shown wearing in this picture.

The thing is there were two blue dots on the front of her shirt which were – how should I say it? Improperly placed, or if you have a juvenile sense of humor, they were in just the right spots.

For years, my sister Pat and I called it Mom’s Ajax Blue Dot shirt, and then we’d giggle. And Mom never got it. Hee hee hee.
