I would absolutely refuse to play Barbie unless we could play dress shop.....which involved all of the Barbies getting naked, then coming to see the shop owner (me), describing the event they were going to, and then I would outfit them. No wonder my friends wouldn't play with me.
I think kindergarten was my wierdest year though. I used to change my name periodically, and then when we did arts and crafts I would put my new name on my stuff...and then get embarrased when the teacher would ask who it belonged to. I thought if I just kept my mouth shut no one would know, but that never worked because
1. I can't ever keep my mouth shut
2. I was the only kid who didn't have their project returned to them
3. It did it ALL the time
I also would tie my sweater around my waist, but also around the back of my chair, until I would get knotted in and had to be cut out.
I liked to play on the monkey bars when I wore dresses and skirts (which was every day, because I refused to wear pants until junior high), and I would shamelessly show my panties to the boys. I always had to be the center of attention I guess.
I hated using paste- couldn't stand how it felt on my hands- and so I would always wipe it on the desk of the redhaired boy that sat next to me- Sam- and then he could never figure out why his t shirt would stick to the desk. I had a big crush on him.
I was IN LOVE with this boy Lyndon...I swear I've never been in love as hardcore as I was with him, from kindergarten until I moved away in sixth grade...puppy love at it's finest I guess.
I did all kinds of random crap, but I guess every kid does right?
