@ Nammu, I am salivating over the ribs, and happy b-day to your grand daughter. Like Beth's daughter, I confess I was more of a tom boy in interests as a kid. I liked forts, digging holes, and spending most of the day on my bike. I could possibly say I was mimiking my brother, who I kinda worshiped, but though I'm full female, I still enjoy some "guy things" and tend to do better in conversations with them. I also always wanted to be an adult as long as I could remember, so my "dolls" of choice were Barbies living adult lives. Strange how people differ! In any case, the mermaid emoji is pretty cute! My favorite flavors were always vanilla and orange and I adored grapes and donuts (vanilla cream filled). I did always love music and dancing, perhaps the latter of which is a bit more "girly". |
I was a ToM boy too. I was expected to play dolls with my girl cousins, but I’d make furniture instead. I’m old enough that the neighborhood kids played cowboys and Indian s, I was always the Indian! We used bikes for horses. My favorite colors were black and green. I could always be found outside. Often with books, sitting up a tree reading. I was always trying to do what I saw on TV, climbing ropes up the side of a building, doing somersaults off the back of my pony, taking things apart to see how it was made.
