No matter how hard you try to conceal it, you grew up a tomboy. Your juvenile performance of gender confused many of your parents' friends. This phase of your childhood was by far the most influential.

1. You wore the same shoes as your male classmates.

Nice shoes, Timmy. #twinning

2. Ponytails were the only hairstyle you needed to rock.

And whenever your mother wanted you to let your hair down, you ran like the freakin' wind.

3. You played all the sports.

You even invented new sports and games when you exhausted the old ones. "Hey, friends! Let's play a quick match of Zombies vs. Vampires Soccer Table Tennis with Dinosaurs."

4. Whenever you and your friends played dress-up, you opted to dress up as a man.

You used your mother's lipstick to draw a mustache, and you worked it.

5. You didn't have a favorite Disney princess. You had a favorite Disney animal sidekick.

What's up, Gus Gus?

6. Whenever your mother dragged you to go shopping with her, you always managed to make your way to the boys' clothing section.

How many different colors of basketball shorts can one tomboy own? The sky's the limit.

7. Despite being a tomboy, boys were still the enemy.

Cooties are real and dangerous. Stay far away from the infected savages. That's right, Danny. You have cooties, and I don't like you.

8. You believed the color pink would leave third degree burns if it ever made contact with your skin.

Pink paper? No. Pink shoes? No. Pink dress? Hell no.

9. You viewed going to Libby Lu as a dreadful social obligation.

And you may or may not have run away from the stylists.

10. Dance lessons were not your cup of tea.

11. When puberty hit, you denied it all.

No, my hips are not expanding. No, I will never have boobs, and boys still have cooties.

12. You didn't even know what having a sense of fashion was.

Your wardrobe consisted only of T-shirts, athletic shorts, socks, underwear, maybe a hoodie or two, ponytails and gym shoes.

13. Today, although you may or may no longer be a tomboy, your fashion sense is still a little underdeveloped.

14. Today, cosmetics terrify you.

How many different kinds of foundation can one woman have? Also, eyeliner? Seriously, who invented that?

15. Today, boys still have cooties.

16. You still rock a sort of androgynous swagger that you owe entirely to your tomboy days.

You may not look like a tomboy anymore, but that tomboy swagger will never die.
