Hindsight is 20/20

When I was in elementary school Dad went South for a work convention. He came back and had brought us souveniors. Mine was a long necklace with the above beads strung on it. He gave it to me and told me that ALL the girls wear those necklaces in New Orleans. I wore that necklace to school and showed it for show and tell telling everybody that all the girls wear these kind of necklaces. Haha now I laugh when I am older and realize that I had a Mardi Gras necklace.
