My mother always told me that somewhere between 10 and 12 years old, I would go through a 'change'. I know what she meant now, but when I was 6 or 7, I was convinced that she meant I would 'change' from a girl to a boy. I was so worried about all my 'girl' toys...what would happen to them??? What about clothes? I didn't have any 'boy' clothes! What would I do??? When I finally got old enough, and I did go through the 'change', I was so relieved!!!!!
