This stupid dress … honest, I feel so dumb like this … but if it makes Mom happy, I guess it's all right.

I mean, how many ten year old boys do you know who wear pink hair ribbons and panties? Not many, I bet. Sometimes I wish I could just run away and hide. And then sometimes … well, sometimes I kinda don't mind going through all this.

I mean — now, don't laugh just yet — but sometimes it's actually kind of fun. You know, putting on a weird costume and pretending to be someone you're not?

I can't help it if my mom thinks I look good in pink ….
