The day before I started, I was at a birthday party for me and my cousin whose birthday is the day before mine. (She's 2 years younger though.) I was too tired to bike and my other cousin, who is a year older than me and is a boy, asked me if I was having "girl problems." Me, being the tomboyish girl I am, said, "well you have brain problems then."
He shut up. The next day was my actual birthday. I got up from gardening to go to the bathroom. That was when it happened. My first thought was "ouch!" My second thought was "welp, time to actually put a hijab on." At least I got my cravings for chocolate cake taken care of!
