HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO JODIE SWEETIN

Today's blog entry will be about a famous actress. A former child star turns 30 today. On 19 January 1982, a child actress would be born, Jodie Leanne Sweetin. I remember her from the late part of the 1980s(I was 3). However, Full House, the show for which she was known best for, would be a hit in the 1990s. Sweetin played Stephanie Tanner on Full House, the middle child of Danny Tanner. She was the one I had a crush on. Her smart mouth, sarcastic humor, and her dynamic character made her very interesting. She goes from dancing to New Jack Swing, to playing Little League baseball, to struggling with being the middle child, from curly hair to straight hair, to having a parrot on her shoulder like a pirate, to driving a car through the house(before turning 9 years old), dealing with wearing glasses, learning fractions, transitioning from a spunky 5 year-old to an interesting adolescent. I will remember her character for quotes such as "Well, Pin A Rose On Your Nose", "How Rude", and "Hot Dog". I remember "How Rude" the most.

Even with her later problems(which will not be mentioned today), I won't forget the days I watched Full House, and Stephanie Tanner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODIE!!
