The audience laughs as a teenager yells words at a grandmother whose hearing is failing or a grandfather having trouble finding his false teeth. I don’t know about the

NOVEMBER 12 2013 Tiny pink nipples peeked from our pasty chest and our protruding ribs gave way to our sun-starved tummies. Alex and I ran free‚ our shirts flapping in the wind as we waved them over our heads like victory flags. Moments later‚ on that April day in first grade my friend and I experienced the injustice of womanhood; our teachers informed us that we were not allowed to go shirtless during recess. “Why?” Alex whined. “That’s not fair” I protested. Of course our complaint received the
