With five older brothers, I got treated like just another son in the family. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey all taught me from an early age that tears didn't matter. And even if they got a tongue-lashing from Mom, I'd still inherit a little hell-on-earth later for every story I blubbered to her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot that I'd ever get touched, although that happened. And they'd get away with it as long as they didn't leave a mark or rip any of my clothes. But the worst was when they would wreck something I was working on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd that's how I taught them to leave me alone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause I was a better \"fixer\" than any of them. Once they found that out, they'd bring their stuff to me rather than try to figure it out for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd when the teasing got real bad, they'd wind up with something of theirs suddenly out start to run badly - or wouldn't run at all. Right when they needed it the most. Of course, they couldn't prove I'd done it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo they quickly learned to stay on my good side. And stay out of my shop. And never, ever, \"borrow\" my tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it wouldn't stop until they did. I was just built that way. \"Eye for an eye\" type of gal. \"Hell hath no fury...\" and all that. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they started racing, life got better for me. They learned that their little sister was an advantage no one else had. The machines I worked on for them gave them an edge - they performed better, ran faster, lasted longer than anyone else's. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd if they wanted something special done, I'd find little gifts on my workbench - or somewhere I'd notice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat worked just great. They won their races, and my life got easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil I discovered how nice boys could be outside my family. Ones who didn't need their machines fixed or tuned. The ones that gave me stuff because they liked me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut wasn't prepared to find someone who really understood me. Even my parents didn't get the scope of what they had created...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
