15. I'm 43. My brothers were 16 and 18 years older than I was.

I was a huge Baby Huey-like kid, though, so my mom got me through some of the earlier grades up until the mid 70s wearing my brothers' ancient hand me downs -- the crazy 60s styles pants and shirts, just with the inseams on the pants cut way shorter.

When clothes were beginning to get a little more conservative, I was still going around in plaid pants and paisley shirts.

I loved it though. I thought it was wicked cool, even if all the other kids tried to make me the butt of jokes. Fuck 'em.
