BF Childhood Memories...tell us!

SleepyButch · 10-23-2012, 02:21 PM

When I was probably in the third/fourth grade, a bunch of us kids, the boys I would play with and some of the girls from the neighborhood would get together in someone's house and play the Osmonds. I looked a lot like Donny Osmond back in those days so I would be him and the other boys would be the brothers and the girls would be our girlfriends. We would sing to the records. It's funny to think about it now but the girls never had any issues with me having a pretend girlfriend or being my pretend gf for that matter.. lol. Oh the good ole days...

This cracked me up. How cute is that!!!

Most of the friends in my neighborhood were boys. But, there was this older tomboy that would play with us sometimes. Her name was Tootles, well her nickname was anyway. I was "forced" to play football and hated it. But, i would do it IF they all promised to play the Partridge Family or Lost in Space with me afterward. Sometimes they kept their promise.

So i got to tell who was was who. We would make up stories, like most of the boys would be friends of the Partridge family and come to the concerts. I always picked myself to be Tracy and would bang the tambourine but Tootles i would pick to be Keith. She looked like Keith. Very androgynous. We would sing to the records and i would swoon.

Wow. Had forgot about that memory.

When I was about 5 years old I had a crush on my next door neighbour. I thought Evan was really dreamy and I wanted him to be my boyfriend. That is, I THOUGHT Evan was a him. Years later, long after we had moved away, I learned that Evan was a girl! My first crush on a tomboy.

Many years later I was finally invited to a party with the 'cool kids' in my High School. It was Hawaiian themed, and the girls were supposed to wear things like bikini tops with sarongs around our hips. I obliged. The boys wore loud Hawaiian shirts and stood in a group watching us watching them. Then I spotted Diane T., a jock and a tomboy, hanging with the boys and wearing the same kind of loose fitting shirt and shorts they were.

Oh. OOOH! I got it.

If I really think about situations from the past I had several that I can share about being the little butch boi I hadn't realized I really was...

In first grade there was a girl by the name of Esther. I remember her being smaller than me, brown hair and always wore dresses. She always wanted to do the piggy-back ride thing and tried with the boys but would get in trouble from teachers so eventually she asked me. I wasn't going to say no... I gave her piggy-back rides whenever she wanted at recess.

Hmmmm, rather interesting that I am now able to recall this. Hee hee

I'm making myself blush!!

Gemme · 10-23-2012, 09:13 PM

I was a late bloomer. Not too many BF memories from childhood, but I had a butch for a middle school PE teacher. Mrs. Baird. I didn't love her and she didn't flip my switch but I felt a connection to her that took me many years to figure out.

Angeltoes · 10-23-2012, 09:42 PM

I was so shy, my experiences are limited. I have lived with a 'sporty' woman who was not so butch, ended up straight and that was heartbreaking. I moved to another state for her and well...I won't go into details, but hopefully I've learned some lessons.

The tomboy, sporty or butch type has always been just **wow** for me for me for as long as I can remember. In my early years, the 'mean girls' often accused me of being after their boyfriends, which was ludicrous to me because I just watched the jock girls who mostly did not notice me except for a few.

The girl who taught me how to ride a bicycle is probably a butch today. She always encouraged me and was an awesome friend, she used to call me 'movie star' for some reason and when I talked about annoying boys at school, she said ' yeah, screw them, girls can have more fun together' and that didn't totally compute for me until much later. Once, she stood in my kitchen while I asked my mom to sleep over her house; my mom looked at her for a long time and said '...uh no... absolutely not.' Sometime I need to ask my mom what her thoughts were at that moment. I would love to know.

Strappie · 10-23-2012, 09:25 PM

When I look back when I was a kid say around 8. My best friend, Tim and I played cars and trucks all the time. We even made a village outside. We made a cover to cover the village every night so if it rained it wouldn't wash our roads away. lol I remember clear as a bell he would pick up his girlfriend for a date and I would also pick my girl friend up. He never once said anything about it or question why I was picking up a girl and not a boy.

Best part... he and his family are a huge part of my life to this day. They haven't walked away from who I am.

SleepyButch · 10-23-2012, 09:45 PM

Okay so jump to a few years later in Junior high now... I have an older sister who had girls as friends.. imagine that?? Anyway, we were all at Chuck E. Cheeses for someone's party. We were all sitting around a big table eating pizza. My sister got up because two of her girl friends walked in. When she brought them over to the table to introduce them to us, I stood up. She asked me right in front of them, why was I standing up. I made something up and said I had to go get something when in reality, I wanted to impress them with my height! lol.. I was tall back then! I mean WTF. anyway.. hindsight, I was probably just being polite too.

Mike · 10-23-2012, 10:03 PM

I dont know if this has much to do with bf but when i was young around 5 or maybe 6 my brother and I would spend the summer at my grandmothers. My brother was 2 years younger. so every morning I would tell him to make a name for the day ( he couldnt use his real name). I would do the same. We would greet my grandmother and say our names are Jack and Tom or whatever name we made up for that day. She would write it down, so she could remember, I wouldnt answer her if she didnt call me by that name that day. They where always guy names. It was me getting one step closer to being a guy.

i had a few girlfriends back in the day but that's for another time. I started being a bad boi way before I should have, let just say girls made me happy.

Guy · 10-23-2012, 10:05 PM

I had a huge crush on my second grade teacher, Miss Sullivan. She was young and very pretty. I was this very sweet shy little butch who had thought that she knew that she was my girlfriend. One day in front of the whole class she announced she was leaving and getting married. The kids cheered and clapped except me, who just sat there. At the end of class, she took me aside and asked me if I was happy for her and I said yes , but that I was going to miss her. She said she was going to miss me too and gave me a big hug. If she only knew lol

Okay here is the last one I can think of for now anyway lol... all throughout junior high and high school... I fantasized about the pretty girls.. well romancing them anyway.

One day in gym class, we were playing dodge ball. I was quite the little athlete at that time having just moved to TX from NY. So it was me and another girl left. She was cute and a grade older. So she threw the ball at me and I caught it, which got her out so I won.

She proceeded to chase me around the gym so I ran up into the locker room, where she cornered me in a set of lockers. She looked at me and said.. Kiss me.. then she puckered her lips. I was shocked to say the least. Next she said.. just kidding and walked away. Such a tease...

Didn't get a kiss but did get a memory that I'll never forget lol.

Pele, Summer camp. I was 12 or 13? She had a buzz cut and called herself Pele, after some soccer player. I had no idea who the soccer player was but I might have pretended I did to impress her. I also have no idea what her real name was. Oh were we attached at the hip that summer. One night we caught a buzz together drinking Robitussin that I'd packed with me- guess it had a bunch of alcohol in it? And then she made up this game that had us crawling and rolling around a lot in everyone's sleeping bags...
