Ladybird

This ladybird decorated a birthday present I was given today.

It reminds of my childhood when I had a little red dressing gown. Being of the Ladybird range of children's clothing, it had big red Ladybird buttons. I then spent several years assuming that the real live ladybirds I found were all baby ones because none were ever as big as the buttons on my beloved dressing gown. 

Now I'm old enough to have worked out that like this wooden one, my buttons were disproportionately larger than living ones.

Ah, how the assumptions of childhood are often delightfully askew.
