A child like me

Past glimpses

Trying to be helpful but not being attentive school life for me was like this. Teachers did punish us but we preferred it know what would happen if they were not in control of us and we learned to respect adult authority.

We wore uniform at school with something fairly similar at social events with our families too and being boys we wore shorts which at the time were short with about four inch inside leg at the most but as your mate did too we just got on with it.

You were a boy and so you played footie disabled or not school break times, at cubs and on the streets with your mates cos we knew we were boys and that was it. The end.

It wasn't that I may not and did not wish to wear skirts at the time, I did, but that was how I wanted to project myself as that boy because just liking to wear skirts and play some games and do more girly things didn't just mean I wasn't a boy but I couldn't be a girl either.

I quite liked being that child but as me, a very feminine mixture.
