Thanks, Holly! The 70s were wild. I loved the ERA, and had very strong feelings about Phyllis Schlafly. It was beyond me that anyone would want to keep women down, especially another woman! Oh, those tighty-whities! My brother loved the story when he read it. He never knew! But he did ask me why I didn't just throw them away after using them as a sponge...
Thank you, Michelle! I'm working on recording all of my stories, and will be launching a podcast. The podcast will be paid, but each recording will also be available in each post. I don't paywall my writing.
Nan, congratulations on your win! And your'e right, listening to you tell the story is fabulous. And so is the reading of it. Such delightful truth. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the story slam performance. That’s great! Love the collection of buttons. Your writing is painting a picture of you as a very precocious child! So fun to peek into these moments as you look back on them.
NAN!!! This is so good!! Congratulations on winning ❤️❤️❤️ Also, I wear boy shorts undies!! They are the most comfortable minus the hole in front 🤣🤣🤣 Xoxo
Thanks, Mesa! I love it when people fess up about their underwear! I have couple pair of boy shorts undies, too, and they are far more comfy. I reserve their use for dress wearing days...It feels a little too risky for me to go commando! xoxo to you, too!
I'm still in commando mode and I am well past post! But I do have to do extra laundry now and then. Sneezing, and waiting 'til the last minute are usually the culprits. xoxo
So funny! Many years ago, I went into my year to find my young son (who we didn't yet know was trans) standing in line with his dad and brother--all peeing al fresco. I guess if you're going to do standing-to-pee experiments without the special attachment, it helps to do it outdoors!
Love this!! Love thinking of young you with your ERA pin and tighty whities!

I mean, he had a valid question. 🤣 Oh, Phyllis. What a true sadness.
It's true. It was valid. It was the heat of the moment. I panicked! And yes. Phyllis. Nightmare stuff.
I loved hearing you read this!

Delightful - multiple guffaws. ;)

Thanks, Amy! I wanted to be a grown up when I was a child...and maybe in some ways I was. Glad you enjoyed. xoxo

I did! What a story. That's a lotta peeing!
Loved this. Although commando ceased being an option post-menopause. 😘
I'm with you on that.
I prefer to not give it too much attention, at present. Am I in denial? Possibly.
I'm still in commando mode and I am well past post! But I do have to do extra laundry now and then. Sneezing, and waiting 'til the last minute are usually the culprits. xoxo
Best last line ever! And such a fun, wonderful piece. Loved this, Nan.
Thanks, Alison! It was fun to tell it at the Slam! xoxo
👏👏👏
Thanks, my dear! xoxo
