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.
