This reminds me of something I was reading in a parenting book. (Yeah, I'm a 14-year-old, but I read parenting books. Just for fun. Gosh can I be weird.) I was reading about parents who want to have a girl but their child ends up being a boy (or they want a boy and they get a girl). This happens sometimes. People usually get over the disappointment, but the book said that there are some extreme cases where parents will not accept this and so, they'll act as though they DID have a girl even though their kid is really a boy. They'll give him a girl's name (or a name that works for both genders), they'll give him girly toys like dolls to play with, they'll dress him like a girl and they'll even identify him as a girl (which, to me, just seems really really weird). That's basically what this song is about. Pete Townshend's basically just writing a song about those kind of parents and the unfortunate child who lives with this situation. (How much you wanna bet that, when he's grown, he'll want to distance himself from these parents for this and then they'll have no one to blame but themselves?)
Hey, no worries. I thought I could read auoras when I was 14, thnx to the library. Oh, and check out "Boy Named Sue." It's funny too! Oh, and another one by The Fray, but I forget.
