pink ribbons

Let me explain: You see I had no choice. I didn't want the pink ribbon in my hair, nor did I want the strange man to take my picture. I would also like to point out that this was NOT one of the times I tried to cut my own bangs...mom did that job all on her own. Actually, I think the pink ribbons were a ploy...I think she already had an inkling that I was going to be a lesbian, so she figured if she dressed me in frilly outfits with pink, that I would succumb to straight-ness. If my mother were younger and in better health, it would be funny to tell her that the reason I'm a lesbian is because I saw how horrible her life was a result of the many men in her life.
