It's hard to be the only girl living in a house of boys...
I am expected to be loving, nurturing, sensitive, calm and patient.
However, I am the oldest. Where is the respect?
Sometimes when I enter a room I will be greeted with an announcement from mommy saying: “From Detroit, Michigan -Freeway Freida Marie!" With the words, sounding loud, clear, and perfect.
In my mind I am running out in an arena with my hot pink tank top and daisy dukes. My parade Tail is up and marching around. I am a hit with all the cheers and chanting. Freida, Freida, Freida…
All of a sudden reality sinks in. I am standing there with one of the boys bouncing into me, trying to steal my food or biting my tail.
I just want the world to know. The boys might think they run the house, but in all actuality I do.
“The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.”

Freeway Freida is my all time fave. She is sassy and I love it. :)
