Freeway Freida on being a girl!

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.
