April 20: allow yourself some "drama" - Drama Queen, Not
Drama Queen, Not
I was never a Drama Queen;
I couldn't pull the part off convincingly!
Maybe it was because
the small dramas in my life
were too traumatic
to pretend anything else was dramatic.
I was born bald--
completely and utterly bald--
without even baby fuzz
on my poor little female head.
Even when Mama
dressed me in tiny pink girly dresses
everyone who saw me
mistook me for a boy.
And then
there were the glass baby bottle incidents.
I was a bottle baby--
for some weird reason
the doctors thought bottle fed babies
were healthier--
who was weaned too early.
I would get mad,
throw a tantrum,
and heave my glass baby bottle
out of the car's open window,
breaking the bottle.
Mom got tired
of purchasing baby bottles
every week
and weaned me.
Sometimes I wander,
if the two incidents
were connected:
Could I have been so angry,
that people were mistaking me for a boy,
that I cried
and tossed the bottle out the window?
