What I did on my Summer Vacation


All the boob talk yesterday reminded me of when I got mine.

It was the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. I was one of the very last girls in school to acquire the bumps, and by the time they came, I’d endured many years of being called flat-chested and boobless. I had remained dateless too.

There wasn’t a boy in high school who had any interest in me – I can’t blame them. I had the physique of a 10 year old even though inside my head, I was at least 21.

That summer, things really popped. Rapid developments occurred and when I returned to school in September of my junior year, I had acquired a decent set of breasts in just two months. It was the closest thing to a miracle I’d ever experienced. It was like time-lapse photography…only it was real flesh and blood.

What a gift! I just loved them and still do to this day.

That summer, an older sister also helped me become “attractive” by showing me how to put on make-up and fix my hair. When I returned to school I had actually become cute. I didn’t think it was possible that the mirror would ever show me anything but a skinny, shapeless, unattractive girl, but this new reflection was quite nice in my mind.

It took the boys a few weeks to realize I wasn’t that same flat-chested girl they once teased unmercifully. I noticed how the teasing slowly stopped and approving glances became more prevalent. “Sexy!” one of the popular boys shouted out to me in the hall.

I blushed purple but loved it.

Another important thing happened that summer prior to the full bloom of the boobs. I met a guy who was a college sophomore -- somehow he could see the future “me” in that skinny, artless girl. We'd run into each other at the library and talk and laugh - very quietly of course or we'd have been thrown out by the stern straight-backed head librarian. His eyes would sparkle when he looked at me and for the first time in my life I knew what it was like to feel desirable.

The first big dance of the school season was the Halloween dance; one I’d longed to attend in the two prior years, but had never received an invitation.

Everyone in high school was abuzz about the dance; snippets of conversations could be heard in the halls about who had asked whom, what was going to be worn to the dance, and where everyone would meet up later.

I knew I’d made it as a “woman” when on one day I got three invitations to the dance: one from a “nerd”, one from a “jock” and one from an all around mucho-popular guy who, incidentally, had also led the pack in picking on my pre-puberty body.

So do you want to know which invitation I accepted?

None of them.

I had to turn down all three invitations because I already had a date for the dance with that college boy who could see into the future.

And I’ve been “dating” him ever since.

Just a quick stop by to thank everyone for commenting...I think we could all talk boobs for a very long time...they seem to have lasting value and cause incredible interest.

Speaking of boobs, mine and the rest of me-- has numerous chores and events coming up starting in about an hour...not sure when I will be back...maybe tonight, but just in case I get caught up in the world of REAL LIFE, I want to wish everyone a happy 4th...will write more when I can...

MB- Every body loves boobies. Men, women, babies. Everyone!

Your story brought up so many memories! I did the same thing the summer before senior year, but I grew 7 inches too. I left looking like a fireplug, and came back tall and totally stacked. I dissed all the boys too. Felt great, didn't it!

Congratulations on your wonderful 'date'!

Hmm, I was never one of those teenagers who go through a rapid period of growth and bloom; I grew slowly and steadily all throughout, but it didn't make a bit of difference. Guys didn't start flocking until college~! : )

Plum...I will never forget how it felt to say no...to what I once thought was the end all and be all -- the boys I went to high school with...

So much more in life than what people thought of you in high school...having them eat their hearts out?...now that was fun.

Blogger mary bishop said...

Irina, you grew as a woman year by year...Plum grew 7 freaking inches! I got boobs but stayed my original 5 feet...funny how we all grew differently.

MB..yet another great post. Your love story is so sweet.

Speaking of boobs, I "developed" only after I started breastfeeding so I was pretty much the flatchested friend among my gang.

But I least I never stuffed tissue in my bra..

Your blog contained issues relating to wedding program which I found quite absorbing. I would argue that wedding program matters are best left to the professionals in most cases.
