Oh, I love Hello Kitty! I have the brush and the comb. Do you have the CD Player? I told my mother that I want it for my birthday. It’s either that or getting my ears pierced, but she says I can’t do that until I’m 13. ---

**A Hunter3** \*Excluse me, but your characterization of people at ten is insulting. You were once ten, and if this is how you choose to depict us, it says more about your memory than it does about us. \* Sorry but I _could_ have answered this in the manner in which I actually spoke at age 10: "Great !!! ‘Humpty Dumpty Magazine’ finally published my treatise about Keynesian Economics and its ramifications in a _laissez-faire_ administration. And it’s right next to the cartoon - “Ever see a ‘fish-_bowl_’? Wow this is my lucky day !!!” … but that would have been showing off and I’m too modest for that. ---

That’s okay. When I was 10 I was once asked by another kid if I was a boy or a girl. Had to do with my flat chest and my short hair. Quite traumatic at the time, but then the puberty fairy visited. ---
