#ConfessionFriday

Growing up, I was sort of a 'tomgirl' in some ways.

Here's the setting: Mommy and Grammy raised me. My Brother was 5 years older than me, so we werent in the same "let's hang together" age range. My Sister was 1 year younger than me, so we definitely were in the same 'hangout' age range. So there you have it... I spent a lot of time playing games with my Sister! Here are some of my tomgirl activities:

- I played House ALL THE TIME with my Sister. And a lot of times... it was ME initiating the game with her.

- I baked cakes in Sister's Easy Bake Oven... even when Sis didnt help out.

- I won block/neighborhood contests in Hula Hoop, Skip-It, and Jumprope... and if I remember correctly, I was the only boy in the competitions. I could never win Double Dutch or Hopscotch, but I tried.

- I combed, brushed, and braided/plaited my Sister's baby dolls' hair.

- I was a gimp master. How you want it... Butterfly, Triangle, Brick, Twist? Ya boy was nice

^^Those^^ are all the things I can remember off top. But dont let that fool you! Aside from those things...

- I climbed trees
- I played basketball (and I was nice wit it)
- Nobody could see me in pencil-fighting
- I destroyed errybody on Mortal Kombat (Sega Genesis) and Killer Instinct (Super Nintendo)
- I got into several fights as a kid, usually because someone said something about my Sister that I didnt like

So... while tomgirlish, I was still a boyly boy. Shut Up!
