As the afternoon progressed with no music, no marching bands and no floats, reality slowly sunk in.
Who doesn’t find themselves singing “In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it…” on this particular Sunday? Well, me for one, ever since I learned the real story.
You know how you hear something as a child and come up with your own version of it, even though it has nothing to do with reality? My fantasy of “You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade” was still vividly in my head when I moved to New York. In my reality, which is questionable considering I exchange emails with my crepe myrtle tree, the Easter Parade was, well…a parade. I should have gotten a clue when I started asking co-workers and friends if they were going to the Easter Parade and got that “sweet little new girl in New York” look. But, and I can’t resist this pun, I thought maybe it was just “old hat” to them because they had been so many times.
I wore a big straw hat that I bought at Klein’s bargain basement. It was covered with flouncy pink flowers that bounced when I walked. I have no memory of the dress I wore. That day on Fifth Avenue was all about bonnets. OK, here we are going into part two of my skewed reality. I was daydreaming about being in the “rogue of review,” which, as you may have already guessed, is not the actual song lyric.
