“Am I The Only One Who Wished For”

When I was a little girl I wished for the teenage years… It came and I was not impressed… Parents put more restrictions on you… Although boys became more annoying and I wasn’t interested in them, in those early years… Parents set boundaries. They sounded like a broken record… “Stay away from boys, all they want is to get with you.”

I wished for boobs and when they came,  I cried because I was embarrassed… I cried because they came too soon… I cried even more when this boy —teenager shouted out, “Little Allison getting breast!” Am I the only one who wished for and did not want it when I got it…
