Long before Davy Jones and Englebert Humperdoink, so my very first crush was a boy in my class (whom I had a crush on in Kindergarten, at the age of five) with big brown eyes and black hair.

His initials and my initials were the reverse of each other, and so, at a young age, I thought this was a sign we were meant to be together...

Unfortunately, he didn't feel the same way, and so I pined away for the next four years until my family moved to another part of the city and I was in a different school.

Then, at the age of 10 or so, I had a new crush...

Paul McCartney!!!

He shared a spot in my heart along with Perry Como for a while...
