When I was a little girl, I wanted to have a tail. I've heard that lots of little girls want to have wings - angel wings, fairy wings - but I wanted a tail.
I had a very precise image of the tail I wanted too: it had to be long and it had to be fluffy. It would be like a raccoon or skunk tail. And it would be like always having a fluffy blanket and pillow with me, because I could just curl up anywhere and wrap my tail around and over me, with the tip covering my nose.
I suppose if I'd gotten my tail, I would have had to learn to sew so I could modify my clothing. I don't really like sewing and it's hard enough to find clothing I like without extra complications; sometimes it's better that we don't get what we wanted as little kids. I still sometimes wish I had that tail, though. My nose gets cold at night.
