breasts

when i was a kid, i longed for breasts. the Christmas of sixth grade, my mom got me two bras, one was padded, and the other had only a thin lining. i wore them both at the same time. i thought if i wore both, it would make my breasts look bigger. it was about that time i also started stuffing my bra(s) with tissue. i tried water balloons once but they looked too fake. i even went to the extent of wishing on shooting stars for boobs. and as i glance down at my chest that is now a DD cup… i suppose i wished that on one too many stars. it didn’t occur to me until after the fact that i should have been more specific in my wish – as in, “i wish for a C cup and a size six figure.”
