I need some Estrogen

Dear Avid Readers. Today I would like to discuss the overwhelming essence of testosterone in my family. For those of you who may not know. Yours Truly grew up with 2 brothers, 2 male cousins that are like brothers and 3 other male cousins who are like male cousins. There was very little female influence in my life. No one to borrow clothes from, no one to play dolls with, no one to prank call boys after school with. And although I love my male family members I grew up hoping and praying for more estrogen in the family. As I slowly approach adulthood and members of my immediate and extended family begin growing, I realize this may never happen as the newest members of my family continue to carry on the tradition of testosterone.

Although I love all these little tots with my heart and soul, I am secretly praying that someone has a little girl for Auntie Doris to play with. No pressure Mike and May, Megan and Eric, Sarah and Chris, Kelly and Liam (this is listed in no order of preference besides the preference of having a little girl)

It is so sad their young little boys will grow up competing in a world where is like three girls to 10 guys. I should have a girl...it can be money.
