Thats not a heart in JBR hand! Am I the only one that didn't know this? I was googling various things and found myself in FFJ, they had photo's I had never seen. For those that have never seen them either I'll include the link.

Its not a heart and it does not look like its drawn. It looks like its scratched on o
r burned on.
Sorry to open an old thread, but I didn't know where to put this and here seemed right.
Agatha C....I did not know this! It supports what I just wrote about my curling iron theory in "The Red Turtleneck" thread!
Here's my speculation:
As soon as the family got home from the Whites...PR insisted the family pose for the family Christmas photos in front of their tree in their co-ordinating outfits which PR had purchased especially for that purpose. They hadn't gotten to take the photos before they went to the Whites because JB had had a tantrum about the red turtleneck and they'd been running late. The kids had a quick snack (pineapple for JB and tea for BR) while PR and JR got ready. When JR was ready, (didn't take long) he went downstairs and put JB's drink in a sippy cup. He sent the kids to change and when they were dressed they met Dad downstairs and started to build BR's new toy. PR had plugged in the curling iron and while it was heating she put on her own make-up. When her make-up and hair were done she called JB to the bathroom so PR could fix her hair....
PR was primping JB for the photo shoot... everyone else was already ready! They were all in their Christmas PHOTO clothes. JB had on the red turtleneck, black pants, (and maybe something else red PR "fussed" with?) and JB had on those cute SHOES PR liked her to wear for pictures. JB was NOT wearing the boots she wore to the Whites. (JR said he removed her shoes)
PR was trying to quickly curl JB's hair with a very
HOT CURLING IRON and JB was being obstinate. She just wouldn't sit still. Everyone else was ready. They were all waiting on her. And they had to get up soooo early...PR just wanted a couple of photos of everyone in their Christmas outfits... Photos were so important to PR! Was that too much to ask?...to get some photos on Christmas in their Christmas outfits in front of their tree in their own home? They couldn't do it tomorrow. They wouldn't be home. PR didn't even want to go on the trip...It was so much extra work for her... all that traveling. If she was going to get those pictures...it had to be right now! She was still reeling from the huge disappointment over the doll. JB had snubbed her present! It was a present PR took so much pleasure in planning. She had hardly been able to wait to see the look on JB's face. For what???!!! JB didn't even seem to care about it. JB didn't think it even looked like her! How could she think that? After all that planning? Perhaps... JB was still refusing to wear the turtleneck..."Come, on JB, PLEASE!" "We don't have the time for this." "You kids should already be in bed"...
JB wasn't cooperating and PR was fed up. She was tired and disappointed and frustrated and frazzled and finally she lost it, she was absolutely furious... in a fit of
rage, PR held the hot tip of that curling iron to JB's beautiful little face... as the tip of that hot curling iron seared into her cheek, JB let out a blood curdling scream. JB grabbed the
barrel of the curling iron with her little hand scorching it as she desperately tried to pull that burning hot curling iron off of her face. Then...reeling in pain from her scorched face and hand, JB lurched back (or PR angrily shoved BR away) and JB's head went crashing into the (tub? toilet?) and it hit with such force the impact fractured her skull....
they never "meant" it to happen...
This is all speculation on my part. The feasibility of it depends on the evidence... Could the face mark possibly be a burn from the tip of a curling iron being held in place on JB's face? Could the "heart" on the hand possibly be from being scorched from JB breaking one arm free and grabbing ahold of the barrel and then quickly letting go?
