When i was aged about 4 i invented a game, it was called 'pretend I was a girl'. I had no siblings yet (a baby brother was soon to arrive) and at my request my mother put a ribbon in my short hair. I have no recall as to how often i played the game but it was quite often I think and went on for quite a few years. I even called myself Karen... I probably freaked my parents out at the time, but I do recall my mother indulging me with the ribbon.
I have often wondered how my life could have turned out differently if I had an older sister, I am guessing I would probably have wanted to wear her clothes and who knows what that could have led to...
Do any others of you have moments or circumstances that you now look back on and wonder. We moved countries when I was about 7 and i think that is when I stopped the game, the interesting part is it is only one of two games I can recall playing as a kid... makes one think doesn't it.
