My parents called the firstborn "son." and ergo; I was called "sister" but fb had a lithp, tho I wath called "thithter" or "thithy"
The kindergarten teacher didn't understand why I would never respond to her. So there was a CONSULTATION. Turns out, I had never known my name. I had never been infomed that I had a name, not just a role. So, at 5 years old I learned to spell my name, a half year before the other children were taught. Things were different back then. Not much was expected of 5-year-olds. Handling scissors was the big accomplishment.
