Not something teachers wanted boys to read in the fourth grade or so. I guess keeping up away from all Of Judy Blume was a small price to pay to keep us from being exposed to something slightly taboo.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-91168762796964643262013-05-21T17:04:31.972-04:002013-05-21T17:04:31.972-04:00Sweet and funny caption.

And it's not only because of the cute redhead, but the story as well, however the idea with the freckles makes it a real Dee.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with Judy Blume, I checked to see if any of her titles were translated, at a younger age I would have needed that, but none of the titles that were, ring a bell. I do know that several of the books aimed at girls, my sisters had, I read as well. It never was a real issue when I grew up.<br /><br />I remember putting on a towel, like a cape, pretending I could fly. Well lets just say it's a miracle I never had any serious injuries because of that, taken in account that I was very reckless at times. But when I had to go to bed it wasn't uncommon I had something from one of my sisters with me, hoping I would wake up a girl.Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-21867992572553212302013-05-20T13:40:16.181-04:002013-05-20T13:40:16.181-04:00Cool caption, as ever! It's a lovely image and...Cool caption, as ever! It's a lovely image and a clever take on the story.<br /><br />Judy Blume was girl only? Well I never!<br /><br />It explains quite a lot. We had a teacher in primary school, I was about seven, and she was obsessed with her as an author. I always wished that we'd read enough of 'Bill's New Frock' or whatever the title was for me to get beyond the premise and read a bit more of it. Yes, even at the age of seven I was sufficiently interested in the concept of cross-dressing to want to hear more. We never did. Nor did we read Flour Babies, as we were threatened with. I forget what we ended up with in the end.<br /><br />I was fairly obsessed with changing stuff and females as a child. I never really focussed on what caused the change but I was also very interested in what would happen after such a change - how would one cope? Would others notice? How would that change how one coped? How important were names?<br /><br />Triggers for the change would be limited to fairly broad and vague ideas like 'other girls made it happen' or 'I woke up that way' or 'unexplained change'. When I was old enough I made out like I was being clever and aping 'Metamorphosis' but, in truth, I just lacked the imagination.Joanna Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765570687013090805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-18450986521314559732013-05-20T07:56:23.091-04:002013-05-20T07:56:23.091-04:00Fun cap Dee!

I never thought of removing freckles as a built in counter to see how close you are to returning to manhood! <br /><br />I read a few Judy Blume's Superfudge books as a child... but I was a little old to really enjoy them and quickly move don to other books. <br /><br />I never had any thoughts of something changing me as a child. But then again my brother and I had huge imaginations that we'd focus into games, leaving our 'regular' lives fairly dull and boring. <br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
