Li'l Tomboy #105
In "Li'l Tomboy," a man reminisces about meeting Li'l Tomboy years ago when his family moved to a new neighborhood and he was anxious about making friends—he had just gotten his first football. Li'l Tomboy befriends him, and the man reflects on how she never pushed him to engage in typically feminine activities, though he sighs that eventually she will. Later, Li'l Tomboy plays with a doll carriage as a normal girl would, but then sneaks it out at night to test it "where" she reveals is best—the jewelry store window. She steals a bell from the jewelry store display, which creates a loud noise that attracts the store owner's attention, forcing her to flee with her prize.
