When I was younger I used to think that boys had it SO much easier. I thought that life would be much cruisier if I were a boy – free from the drama, hassles & riding the emotional rollercoaster that being a girl & having to deal with girls, as a girl, brings with it.
Sometimes, I still think along those lines, so I thought I’d tell you a little bit about myself, if I were a boy….
If I were a boy, I would have a beard. I would wear hats. I would use a pocket watch & smoke a pipe.
I would play the guitar.
I would have tattoos & ride a skateboard….
That’s just for starters.

Well, you would definitely have to be running from me ;p
ReplyDeletebut you know you could still do a lot of those thing (tho perhaps the beard would be a struggle)...
have fun pretending!
I am with you sister! I wrote you a song about it...ok, ok...David Bowie wrote it.

Oh....if I were a boy I'd be a cowboy - or a Jackaroo if you must, but I like cowboy better :) Yeah and I'd play guitar too, just to charm the pretty ladies when I went to town ;)

ReplyDeleteI so love that song "If I were a Boy". Beyonce was it? One of my all time favs.
Hey crzylady, if Vic started shaving, she could probably coax a beard out. Look what happens when we shave our legs or underarms!! lol.
You can do all those things as a girl! Except for the beard I think :p
ReplyDeleteLove the story

Oh you pipe smoking, tatt toting, bearded rascal you. I'll just bet my bottom dollar you would've been a bit of a tatterdemalion too, hmmm ??
ReplyDeletecrzylady & Marieke - Yeah... I could (or at least, in theory, I could), but I don't want to be a pipe smoking, hat wearing, tattooed guitar playing GIRL! (Not that there is anything wrong with that lol)
