My mom said that when she was pregnant with me, her third son, she was certain I was a girl, even had a name picked out...
"Shirley".
Even though I am SO glad to have come out with a penis, I can't help but wonder how things would of been different had my mother had a daughter.
If I only had a sister, I would not have been so shy and uncomfortable around girls. My friends who had sisters could play comfortably with the girls, could put their hands on them without feeling that they were acting inappropriately.
If I only had a sister, my loney, despondent mother would have someone to talk to. When her sons visit, they watch TV and read the newspaper. We have very little to say. We don't possess the "gift of gab".
If I only had a sister, I, myself, would have someone to talk to. I could get insight into the mind of a woman, get relationship advice, as well as other pertinent advice on such things as cooking, decorating, fashion, and other "girly" things.
