Little Billy

As far back as I can remember I knew I was different from other little boys. I played with my sisters dolls, styling their hair and making gorgeous outfits for them to wear. My sisters would get angry and hide their dolls from my, but I always found them. I can remember wearing my mothers night gowns dancing around the house as though I was a young lady with a full dance card of handsome men to dance with.. My all time favorite hero was not Superman or Spiderman, or even Batman, but Wonder Woman. Miss Linda Carter as Wonder Woman was the person I wanted to be when I grew up. I used to steal my mothers tin foil and make a tiara and would unroll the toilet paper just to get at the cardboard roll to make wrist cuffs and would spin around in my room ready to save the day in my satin tights.

Don't get me wrong I did the classic boy thinks too. I used to go fishing all the time. I would leave first thing in the morning, off on my bike with the baseball card in the spokes and my banana seat. I caught more colds from getting wet than actually catching fish but always had a good time. I used to built things, taking my fathers scrap wood and roofing nails I would fashion different strange unusual creations. My mother always thought I would be an inventor some day because she always said I had a good imagination.
