As a child, before I realized I was a girl and had to cross my legs, wear skirts, and act like a lady, I was a tomboy and proud of it!
While some girls were playing with Barbies and Easy Bake Ovens, wearing their ribbons and barretts, little frilly skirts, and mary jane shoes, I was a basketball playing, dirt bomb hurling, sneaker and overall wearing "little thing"
My grandmother would often say she didn't know where I came from.
My older cousin Mikey had his own room, (I had to share with my sister unfortunately)and everytime I came to my aunt house I would eye this huge poster he had of a hip hop group called Kriss Kross.
I thought they were so dope! They were rebel. They had baseball jerseys, jeans, and jordans, but they were backwards!
Me being the tomboy I was followed that trend. My grandma hated it! But she allowed me to be an individual, Sunday I had to dress how she wanted me to dress for church. I went into my 3rd grade class with my clothes on backwards and everyone would just stare, a few of my friends even adopted the trend.
Those were some good times, I didn't stay a tomboy forever, now I've come into my own, I wear dresses, or jeans and a tee sometimes. My mom and grandma would be proud.
Did you remember Kriss Kross? Did you ever wear your clothes backwards?
