Jeanne story #2 a collection

I'm trying to write these in a timeline fashion as my degree in History would then for once prove useful...so let's see...which is next???
I think I can lump a few of these together as they all happened roughly between the ages of 4-6...
When I was walking home one summer night from our weekly trip to Cock Robins (I'm not making this name up there is an ice cream parlor in the Chicagoland area called Cock Robin's) a bird pooped on my head. I was EXCEPTIONALLY upset and this incident then led to a series of nightmares about bats attacking me and using my hair to build their nests. To this day I do not like birds.
My first experience with team sports led to me getting hit in the mouth with a baseball bat. I had a front tooth that was black and blue until it fell out when I was 6. I can honestly say this was the incident that turned me off sports from that point on.
When I was in kindergarten I was waiting for my neighbors Dad to pick me up from school and was so nervous about missing him that I pooped my pants. I was soo upset about it that I told my neighbors Dad that I had pooped my pants! I think that was the start of my constant battle with constipation.
I have a sister who is 11 months and 2 weeks younger then I am...we are known as Irish twins. When we were little we had matching t-shirts that were yellow with green writing that said "I'm an Irish twin". The funny part about this story is that this sister and I are quite literally the exact opposites of each other! She has blond hair and blue eyes is 5'8 and big boned. I'm brown hair brown eyes 5'4 and of a more slender frame..and that's just our physical differences.
When I was 5 I had a favorite dress...and by dress I mean nothing more then a white slip that had lace...I wore it everyday everywhere. My Mom had to negotiate a deal similar to a peace settlement between Israel and Pakistan to get me to wear normal clothing to school and other venues where slips were not appropriate.
At the end of the day I can honestly say I would not change one moment of my life as it has lead me to where I am today.
