I don't recall ever "pretending I was a mechanic," actually. I did go to school one Halloween as a Rubix Cube, I'm not sure if that was a worse sin or not.
It was my mom's idea, she was all like, "It'll be an easy costume!" I wanted to be a princess, but I was the second child, which pretty much meant that in certain arenas I was not permitted this strange thing called "choice or preference," in certain arenas.
It's why I'm a rebel without a clue. I'm super rebellious, until you ask me about what and then I'm like, "Someone implied I was a pretender," or whatnot.
