Life Lessons and Tales of Little MisFit

Ivy Sue Klutz (Little MisFit - LMF) finds one of her first memories confusing. This is when she is three and a half years old and is at her sister Lynns birthday party. Their cousin Janet asks the partygoers to guess what Lynns birthday present is as the truck delivering the present is backing up to the front porch of their house. Unbeknown to LMF Janet told the other kids not to really guess that its a bike. You guessed - LMF guesses that her sister is getting a bike for her 5th birthday present. But instead of everyone being happy that LMF guessed the right thing everyone is mad at her and none more than her mother. LMF runs off to her soon-to-be baby brothers bedroom and tries to hide behind his dresser with her mother hot on her heels yelling at her all the way. From this experience and many others through her 4th grade years in school LMF learns the Life Lesson that Life Isnt Always What It Seems.
