Gram told me we were going to start this morning and that I should go change into the clothes I found in my room. I was surprised and it just popped out.
“But those are little girl clothes.”
The look Gram gave me would have melted butter.
“Oh right sorry.” I jumped out of the chair and headed for my room to change.
I had a lot to think about on my way to my room. I’d never even heard of an arrangement like this. I wondered if Gram and Aunt Kathy were getting a sexual thrill out of this. And they might be. But I think it was more due to the fact that Gram just didn’t want to see me end up like my mother. Mom was fun but she never was much in the mom department. I was wondering how far Gram was going to go with this.
I’d looked through the drawers in my room earlier and I must not have been paying much attention. Because all the kids clothing fit me. Now I’m only eighteen but I look younger I have a very small athletic body. I wanted to be a gymnast for awhile. But we really couldn’t afford the lessons. I’m only 5 feet tall and Just last year at a Halloween party I’d been mistaken for a baby.
I got dressed and boy was I unhappy. I’d found a dress that only grandma’s would put on their little girl. It was a very short yellow dress that barely came down to the tops of my thighs. Bending over for anything would give anyone a look at my Cat in the Hat panties. My bare legs ended in white socks with little yellow trim and hi glossed black dress shoes. I was dressed every inch the eight year old little girl.
As I came downstairs I found Gram and Aunt Kathy watching Jerry Springer. They turned off the TV and made little cooing noises over me like they did when I was eight and they thought I did something cute. They walked me into the kitchen and sat me down on a chair. Gram pulled her hairbrush off the counter and began brushing my hair while Aunt Kathy began removing my fingernail extensions.
