Swaddled in soft pink
Among screaming baby boys
The only girl born.


~Yep, I was the only girl in the entire nursery born at that time...the nurses loved me to death, LOL.  Thanks for the challenge Allan, this was fun!

You said it, Jeremy!
Jason on Friday the 13th... DancinQueen getting dropped on tha head (lol)... and now this too...
I had no idea we all had such interesting stories to share.
I'm glad that you gave me the idea for the challenge, Jeremy.
This particular one caught me off guard... i don't believe I have ever seen you before this, Alwye.  It is flattering that I brought you out of your proverbial cave.  ~_^

Great work, that would be soo weird being the only girl in the nursery, just imagine, about 15 years later and you would be wishing you were the only girl in a room full of males!!
Just something for ya's to think about!!

Melz!!

You can't hurt me anymore than I have hurt myself already...

Nice one.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
