I Was Bald

7 Qawl 163 B.E. - November 29, 2006

When I was born I had not hair not even baby fuzz on my head. In fact, I didn’t have any hair until I was about one or two years old. My mother said that when she took me out people always commented on what a cute little boy I was, but I was a girl. Apparently, people seem to think babies with no hair are boys and those with hair are girls. My mother always dressed me as a girl when I was a baby and growing up, but before I grew hair people didn’t seem to notice the cloths just the hairless head.

Another interesting thing about me as a baby is that I was a bottle baby. My mother used glass baby bottles. Whenever she and my dad or my granddad took me out, I would through the bottle out the car window and break the bottle on the streets. My mother finally just got tired of the whole process and weaned me.
