I look ridiculous!” Though I guess you we could go to the shops to buy some today. “Oh sorry, I still needed to buy the games, I thought I had enough time before Christmas. “Uhmm, well, ah, *scratches brow*, it’s pink…uhmm…how do you play games on it then?” Kevin opened the box and held the small pink console in his hands. “It’s a portable gaming console, it was very popular around the 2010s and I got it for a bargain. Not all too thrilled given that everything his mum had bought for him recently was enough to trigger his gag reflex, Kevin took a small box from his mum and admired its contents. “Here you go Katie, merry early Christmas!” “Oh but you’ll always be my little darling to me.” replied Kevin’s mum as she walked over to her bedroom. “Stop calling me darling!” Kevin screamed. I bought something on the market which I planned to give you at Christmas but since you’re so bored, maybe I could give you it now instead. “No way! Plus they will bully me even more when they realise I’m a boy!” “Maybe you could play with the neighbourhood girls?” “Mom! Are you blind? I can’t go outside looking like…this! Everyone will make fun of me!” “Well, you’ve got to do something Kevin, maybe you could go out and play with some friends?”

No way am I playing with dolls or dressing up in princess costumes!” cried Kevin. “Well, have you even opened the toy box I put in your room when we redecorated? You might find something you like?” “No I don’t you took all my video games, Lego and action figures away when you started dressing me around the house!” Besides, how can you be bored? You’ve got loads of toys upstairs.” “Oh don’t be silly Katie, you know well enough that petticoated darlings don’t get called by their boy names. “Mom! Stop calling me that! I’m Kevin and there’s nothing to do!” “I’m so bored!” shouted a 10 year old boy, dressed in a blue skirt and floral top clearly designed for a girl much younger than him.”
