Dressing
I selected a pleated green skirt and a white blouse with a round neck collar, and as soon as I had them on mom finished brushing out my hair. I stepped into the black flats and mom handed me a soft red lipstick. In the jewelry box I found a pair of gold hoop earrings and slipped them into the holes in my ears after I took out the studs I usually wore.
Mom was grinning at me as she picked up some perfume and gave me a spritz. "I think that will do it for now, except for a name. I can't call you Tim now can I?" Mom wanted me to tell her my deepest secret, and as much as I wanted to tell her, I was afraid! I was standing in front of the mirror looking at someone else. It was me, but different, like I was my own sister, and I was afraid to tell her the name I had chosen for myself. "Tell me Tim; I'll bet it's a pretty name." "Gail." I had blurted it out quickly, and mom smiled when she heard it. That's a very pretty name! Find a purse Gail, and lets go shopping!" I was rooted to the spot until she took my hand and led me out of my room, stopped and picked up her purse, and continued out to the car.
I had never been outside the house dressed as a girl before and I was very nervous as we drove down the street. She reprimanded me twice for slouching down, and when we got to the mall she parked as far away from the doors as she could, even though there were places closer. Before we got out of the car she turned and looked at me. "You are a very pretty girl Gail, and going into the mall is exactly what you need. If you act like a girl, walk like a girl, and watch your mannerisms, nobody will know who you are. Actually I was counting on some of your friends being here, because that way you'll have to be doing your very best or be discovered." With that, she got out of the car and waited while I did the same. Standing next to the car I felt a breeze run up my skirt and held it down as mom just giggled. "Come on then Gail, we have a lot to do today."
