IT’S JUST GORGE!

“Maxine? It’s Gloria. You are not gonna believe what I got today. Go ahead, take a guess.

Nope, not a new bouncy toy.

Applesauce? I wish! Between you and me that creamed banana and prune combo is the pits! Gag me with a spoon!

Hahaha! OMG! You’re so funny! It does look just like that!

One more guess, Maxine.

A new teddy? No and I saw a really cute one when Mommy was on Amazon but she said she was shopping for new school stuff for the boys. Helloooo! What am I? Mashed peas, FFS?

OK, give up? Well, you know how I’m always wearing my brothers hand-me-down t-shirts and jeans? Honestly Maxine, you don’t know how lucky you are having older sisters! You get to wear pretty sundresses and rompers. And even with your short hair people know you’re a girl.

Well, Mommy said she and Daddy are keeping an open mind about what I relate to. She said I should be able to choose my own identity and be fluid. I think I’m already plenty fluid, judging by my frequent diaper changes!

Anyway, Grammy had a conniption when she heard that! I never saw her eyes bug out like that before!

What’s that? Yeah she was royally pissed.

But wait. Here’s the best part. When Mommy left for work, Grammy had a surprise for me. A great big beautiful bright green bow for my hair! It’s just gorge, Maxine. Just gorge! Wait till you see it!

Then Grampy said now no one’s gonna mistake his only granddaughter for a goddamn boy!

And Grammy said Mommy’s gonna freak out when she sees my bow. And they laughed and laughed!

Listen, toots. I gotta go. Catch you after nap.”

  2. This is simply pure humour at its best. Good morning, darling sis! Oh wait, it’s afternoon already. I’m thinking ice cream for lunch; gotta cope with this heat one way or another. Sweet, eh?

    1. Ice cream is perfect any time of day! I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like ice cream! 🍦
      This was fun to write and, as I said to Lesley just before you (see ⬆️ up there), we need fun in our lives.
      So glad it tickled you funny bone, cara sorella! ❤️

  3. Very relatable … I know how she feels … my mum was wishing for me to be a ‘girl’ … she had already knitted the pink baby clothes … yep! I was dressed in pink for a while …
