In town I was sent into the cafe to buy the milk and so I stepped out of the car and tugged my skirt down at the back as I had seen girls do. As I walked the few steps along the pavement I glanced into the shop windows and saw the reflection of this pretty little schoolgirl walking along the street. Wow! what a gas!

In the cafe I was shaking like a leaf as it suddenly dawned on me that I was a girl and thrill of all thrills as the shopkeeper handed me the milk he said: “There you are my girl, good- bye.” My Girl! I could have died with bliss! Heart beating I ran back to tell my Mum, who was most amused and said “well you are a very pretty girl”. I thought I would burst with joy and settled back in the seat to enjoy my new good fortune. I had settled into the new role so easily that I really was enjoying myself immensely.
