as the only girl and the youngest out of 4 boys i was desperate to be a boy i shaved off my hair once and everything but i was convinced it was impossible that you could have THAT many male children so i decided that when you turned 17 you changed to the opposite sex. this theory was crushed when i was 6 when my eldest brother turned 17 and i walked up to him placing my hand firmly between his legs and squeezing announcing " it's still there" causing him to sream and wollop me :-(
