As a young child, what did you look like?

I was skinny, and short. But I made up for it by being fast and smart, well kinda smart, I think. I had sandy red hair and plenty of freckles. I could get sunburned in a few short minutes of being in the sun so I learned to pull off dead, flaky skin or wear long sleeve shirts, I choose the latter. Every now and then I would forget but the pain would continue to make me remember the next time. I would have short hair in the summer and longer but never past my ears if mom had anything to do with it and she did. It was short in the summer because we would get a buzz at the start of every summer so that we would be able to work in the heat easier. I wore mostly hand-me-down clothes from the three older brothers. I would get new underwear and socks since they seldom made it past one person.
