38-MOTHER'S NEW DAUGHTER

I cringed as Kim, "Oh, you simply must get one. You make such a cute girl." Kim handed them to Sidney, "You can't have it just hanging out!"

"You're right," Sidney said, turning to me. "Can you give us some privacy?"

Sidney was "fitted" in back while I killed time in the main part of the shop. I looked around and felt completely out of place.

I heard some grunts and groans from Sidney in back. In a few minutes, Sidney walked out, his movements most calculated and slow as if something was going to suddenly hurt. His face twisted in delicate, but whimsical expressions as he strolled about the lingerie racks. As he walked, he began to giggle.

"How do you feel?" Kim asked.

"Lovely," he said brightly. "I was so small anyway." "It should stimulate you," Kim agreed.

Sidney giggled and swayed sexily towards me. His eyes danced brightly with mischief on his face. "Maybe I should flash Jesse."

"Leave me out of this!" I nearly yelled. Suddenly Sidney flinched and stopped dead in his tracks. He groaned softly, his eyes half-closed.

Kim giggled, seeing Sidney's face, "Tell me it's not more fun being a girl!" Sidney tried on a few more things in the store and we left, his maleness firmly bound up.

Later at our hotel, I ran up to get my coat. When I came back down to the lobby, I saw a handsome young man talking to Sidney. When I came up, Sidney introduced me to this guy as his BROTHER!

"Your first trip to New York?" the boy asked. "I'd love to show you and your brother around town.

I was surprised when Sidney quickly agreed. He had a twinkle in his eye. I think he decided it would be fun to show me how girlish he could be. I had seen him flirt before with boys at the mall.

I knew that Sidney was not attracted to males sexually, but he had enough narcissist inclinations to realize that he was attractive to them. I think it increased his feeling of girlishness.

SANDY THOMAS ADV. -39

Sidney and I were chatting later at the hotel. He had his smooth legs crossed, dangling the top one. I shook my head. The sight of my buddy with breasts pushing against his new tight sweater was most disconcerting.

"So what was all that about?"

"You mean the guy?" Sidney teased me, "Are you jealous?"

"He sure liked you," I remarked.

"You know I don't like boys that way," he said, "but it's fun to have a guy ooh and awww over you. That's all."

For the rest of the trip, we had a great time. It was almost like I had a girlfriend because Sidney's interests were strictly feminine. By the end of the week, I was beginning to understand Sidney better and even understood why he liked the freedom of being a girl.

A FAMILY VACATION

When we got back, I raved about the trip so much that Mother promised that she would plan a trip with Sidney's mother. It would be her first vacation since Dad passed away.

I was so happy to see her take some time off from her work. Besides the two mothers were becoming close friends.

"Where can we go?" I asked.

"As far away from here as we can get," she exclaimed. "Some place hot and exotic!"

"Now you're talking! I hope we can afford to go for a month!"

"I guess we could afford a nice long trip. Sidney's mother mentioned that they were going to Hawaii this summer."

"Mother! Are you kidding? We could afford to go to Hawaii?" I could imagine what Sidney had planned. I knew he had dreams of running around the beach flirting with all the guys. Of course, he would be wearing the scantiest bikini his mother would allow.

"I'll talk to them about their plans. I'll see if we can get ourselves invited."

Sidney's mother got a strange look on her face when mother suggested that we might be able to go to Hawaii
