My grandfather had a very strange sense of humor. When I was little, probably between 5-7, he would tell me stories about when he was a little girl just to tease me. He told me he liked to wear pink dresses with ribbons and bows, and then he grew up to be a big strong man. I thought for quite a while that I too that since I was a female, I was going to grow up to be a man, despite my parents trying to disabuse me of this idea. Happily, I'm all grown up and a woman.
