one of the boys

I grew up in a house of men.  I am the youngest of four children and the only girl.  My three older brothers always had at least two friends each at the house.  For dinner, for lunch, for street hockey, for basketball, for sleepovers, for baseball in the park across the street, for kickball, for camping in the yard and in general coming up with new ways to torture and use me.  The thing is, being of use to your brothers and their really cool friends was like, my life dream.  So when I was five and they were playing street hockey and the puck would go into the street gutter it wasn’t hard for them to convince me to let them hang me down the drain by my feet and retrieve said puck.  This was usually done while wearing my favorite “sky blue” dress.  That was thing, I loved me a pretty dress but I also loved me some muddy hands.  While they were playing cool boy games, I was generally underneath my swingset elbow deep in a mud puddle……this is going to have to be continued but i guess thats the point
