When I was a wee little thing

When I was young, I was a tomboy. I hated dressing up, I hated playing with girls, I hated the color pink, I hated pretty much anything any normal young girl would love. I was the little girl with the bowl cut, whose mom made her wear certian clothes that made me look like a girl. The only thing I was able to choose when it came to my wardrobe were my shoes...a nasty old stinky pair of tennis shoes with holes. Note the tennis shoes and bowl cut...the dress with puppies on it???!!! Definitely not my choice...ehhhemmm mom ;)

I was friends with all of the guys at my school. Except there was this one boy, whom I went to daycare with, Bradley, and I abosolutely hated him. I would always tell him I would beat him up and we rough housed like boys would.

I was always the child that caused trouble in my family. I would be out riding my bike and getting into mischief. I was the child that all of my family, family friends, babysitters and anyone else who knew me; thought would be the one to drop out of highschool. After all not only was I a tomboy but a rebel. I never listened in school and was sent to the principals office almost everyday up until 2nd grade. Man was I a handful.


Some examples I did as a child:
Examples #1: When I was 2 almost 3 my family moved into our current house. They built a fence in our backyard to keep us (by us I mean mostly me) in the yard. The first day we moved into our house, I climbed the fence and ran up the hill. What a waste of money. Poor parents.
Example #2: Bradley (the kid that I hated) asked "want me to steal your teddy bear" and I responded (in preschool) "want me to kick your A**?"
Example #3: When sent to the principals office in kindergarten for not behaving. I instead decided it would be fun to hide in the girls bathroom under a table. The school almost had to call the police because they couldn't find me and thought I ran away.
Example #4: When my teacher had a sudent teacher from cornell, I stood up and yelled cornell sucks and coe rules and then proceeded to tell the student teacher I didn't have to listen to her because she went to cornell. (by the way, my grandpa was the athletics director, an economics professor, and head of the economics department at coe. I only got introuble with my grandma, because grandpa was actually proud of me and told the whole football team what I did.)
Example #5: When fighting with my sisters I would do something to them and tell my parents they actually did it to me, so that they would get in trouble.

I suppose that is enough examples for now, as I will continue to give examples of my transistion into pageants and adulthood.

    Dakota - I remember stories 2 through 4 as if they happened yesterday!! Do you remember Bompers letting you watch Ace Ventura when he wasn't supposed to? You met Memo at the door from her out-of-town visit with the "Let me assssk you a question routine!" Of course, that was my fault because I couldn't get you to sleep in the time it took him to pick up Memo at the airport. Good times.....Miss you and love you!
