File this under really bad parenting.

Really? Being ostracized and beat up as a kid helps you build character?

See, now you're just forcing the GRM way on them

One of the hardest things about driving a Miata was explaining to my mother that I'm gay.

There are ways to allow gender neutrality, but the couple is stooping too low not allowing the child to have things that are "too masculine" or "two feminine." I think its more important to have a kid that is highly adaptive to an environment weather it be feminine or masculine. I like playing with cars and guns, but I can help my wife pick out a nice outfit and tell her what looks good or professional better than what she could for herself. She comes to me for style advice.

Having two older sisters made me who I am today.

I'm a social chameleon.

I was a bit odd as a kid. Got along with the girls more than the boys and was overlooked a lot. High school is where I got beyond that and changed. I really don't think it effected me too much. Always had a pretty high self esteem.

You know the best part about driving an el camino? You don't have to tell anyone your gay;)

Hmmm... I drive BOTH a Miata and an Elky.

But you have to keep explaining why you shaved off your mullet.

Or why I feel compelled to braid my chest hair.
