Wait, I wanna be a boy.

Being raised on a farm amongst a conservative family was not always the easiest thing growing up. Following tradition, my sister and I were given the stereotypical chores. Wash the dishes. Vacuum the floors. Clean the bathrooms. Do the laundry. All of which I absolutely hated and still do today. My one brother also had his chores to do, which were more focused on manual labor and more physically challenging. I didnt notice that part though. All I knew, was that after breakfast on saturday mornings, by brother was allowed to take a quick nap. I had to do the dishes. I can easily say that at that point I thought life would be much easier if I were a boy.
