I read when I was younger and then stopped for a while and started back with a vengenance….when I was younger and reading, I put myself into the character of whatever book I happened to be reading at the time…I was Nancy Drew several times!!

I used to pretend that I was a teacher, and when I grew up I became one!

Actually, I guess I still play pretend as a grown-up… I am the heroine in every book I read!

I used to pretend I was a house wife! With you know, kids (dolls), and a husband (nonexistant haha) to cook for and all that!

My sister and I would play with our barbies and ken dolls. I’d always pretend that barbie would be in trouble and ken would always come to her rescue. The catch always was that barbie was us. It’s fun when you get to play pretend because as an adult you don’t get to that often. Lori I got Zero Control as a gift for my birthday and can’t wait to read it.

My pretending in my childhood centered around the fact that I wanted to be
a movie star, a singer and dancer. Of course that never happened, but there
was much fun in the pretense. We even acted out some of the movies we
had seen! LOL

I wanted to be a detective. Blame it on Nancy Drew.
I even made a little badge and “borrowed” from my brother one of his cowboy guns.

In our basement we had a great big Chalkboard like we had in school and I loved to play teacher with my younger brothers and my friends.. I alway though I would be a teacher some day, but it did not turn out that way.. But we had many happy hours with this make believe game as kids..

Hope I’m not too late to get in.

I would pretend to be Julie Newmar as Catwoman from the Batman TV show. I just loved her and I thought she was such a cool character at that time to go against Batman even though she cared for him. I know the acting was cheesy but I still watched them all the time.

A Navy pilot.
I can still remember the moment when my cousins-all boys-said girls couldn’t fly Navy planes. I’m showing my age here. I was crushed.
Ain’t it great times have changed?
