Were you a goofy looking kid?

[Eli-kun]

I was always cute, though I was bald as a baby. I had unusually broad shoulders for someone my size. I've always been oddly proportioned. I still think I was cute.

Well I guess I was cute as a child, very short though (wasn't until I was 12 that I broke 5 ft. tall of course didn't quit 'til I was 6'1"), most everyone has said I was cute when they look at old pictures of me (and do a double take when they notice my hair was red). I grew to be a pretty good-looking guy, I guess, judging by all the attention women have given me since puberty. I'm still finding out girls who liked me and had crushes on me in high school, and its always get a chuckle when a women walks right past her car because she's paying way to much attention to me.

Yopu had a moustache in 8th grade?

Yup... and very proud of it at the time

Man I still can't grow one at my age of 27.

GentleGiant, I'm of Danish ancestry, and I too had blonde hair that turned brown. The blonde only lasted until age five, though . . .

Its not unusual at all; I'm another former blond kid with fairly dark brown hair now. I can see my kids getting darker all the time too -- my nine year old can hardly claim to be any kind of blond anymore.

heck, i am a goofy lookin kid

I never was really goofy looking, but as a relatively shy kid, my size was unbearable at times. I had a full beard and was 6' 3" and 180 lbs. by the end of 8th grade so I tended to stand out. It was awkward when I was that age, but I was never really goofy looking. I just looked much older than I actually was.

Much the same as I went through. It did do that I've never been carted at a bar, even at age 15
Now I'm 6'6 and 300 lbs, so not exactly a problem either

Hmm, must be something in the genes

I'll let you decide:

Never saw any of the baby pics before; funny because my wife pulled out some of MY old pics about two days ago. Good God - you looked like a clone of me at age 12.

And no, Darth K, that's him, in all his creepy glory.

I have a friend who can't grow much of one and he's just about to turn 40! :\ What he does grow takes FOREVER.

Ah well, I have a couple of friends who are the same, either that or spotty beard growth... not always pretty
Just praise yourself lucky that you don't have to battle with 5 o'clock shadow, scratchy stubble getting caught in the neckline of your clothes or a tedious shave every day.
