     A girl is not a tomboy like her sisters.

What's wrong with being a girl?  Especially a "girlie" type of girl?  I see nothing wrong with wearing dresses instead of pants, or preferring to play with dolls or pretending to have tea-parties!

My older sisters, Willow and Pansy, think I am a dweeb because I don't like to get dirty or play sports like they do.  I'm sorry.  That's their bag; it's not mine.  I hate getting dirt on me, and forget about playing soccer or something like softball!  That's just not me.

I sometimes get picked on by Willow and Pansy because of my "girlie" ways.  So let them pick on me.  They don't know what they're missing!!

I wear my hair straight and loose, with a ribbon or headband holding it back in my face; I think ponytails are stupid.  I keep my clothes as clean as possible, and my portion of the bedroom is emmaculate.  If there is even one toy, one pair of shoes or socks, or a piece of cltohing out of place, then I'm already picking it up and putting it where it needs to go.  Maybe I have a cleaning fetish, but I don't care.  I don't like dirt, period, and I hate dust even worse!!

I look at the corner of the room where Willow and Pansy sleep, and all I can do is roll my eyes.  It's embarrassing to have friends over because I dno't want them to think that my older sisers are a pair of pigs!!

I think for Christmas I am going to ask Santa Claus to get my older sisters a DustBuster, or maybe some brooms and dustbins.  Their part of the room needs a good cleaning!  There's dirty clothes, trash, and empty soda cans or dirty plates all over; it's a miracle that we don't have bugs!!

I have talked to mommy and daddy about Wlllow and Pansy's messiness, but it doesn't seem to be doing any good: things remain the same.  It's very frustrating!!

I am glad that I am the way I am.  I can think of better ways to get exercise (jumping rope, roller skating, or jogging with daddy or mommy) than to play sports, only to risk getting hurt, and *gasp!* getting dirty!!  I am a "girlie-girl", and I am proud of it! :)

Nothin' wrong with being a girlie-girl, it's all in how comfortable you feel. Well done, Karen!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
