When I was a little girl, growing up with fourteen brothers and sisters, our dad would tell stories at the Sunday dinner table. He opened each story by saying, "When I was a little girl . . ." For many years, I worried that that meant that I would grow up to be a man. This was complicated by his constant exhortations to eat our vegetables, "It'll grow hair on your chest!"
