Like a Boy
For as long as she could remember, her father had tried to conceal his disappointment that she was a daughter and not a son. She knew that he had loved her as best he could, but just like his effort to hide his disappointment, he did not convince. So, dressed like a boy, she relieved herself upright like a boy, then stepped away from his grave and turned her back on him for good.

These are very fun :) Good luck in the contest.
I like this one.
Family friend wanted a son really really badly, and when his only child, a daughter, was born, they named her Kevin. Actually, Kevin-Anne - because that made it okay.
Thank you, Ali! And John.
Seriously? Kevin-Anne? There just isn't any way to make that pretty, is there?
