“Yeah.” I shrugged. “Why?” I asked. In a patronising tone, Mum reminded me that boys have a bulge that girls don’t have and items such as leggings, spray-on jeans, tight skirts and body-con dresses will reveal said bulge. “I hadn’t thought of that.” I frowned, before suggesting that I’ll have to model those items instead.
“I was thinking more along the lines of a girdle.” Mum replied. “…or magic knickers.” she added. “They should flatten him out.”
“I don’t like the sound of this.” Peter said. “You are joking right?”
Personally, I wasn’t sure. Mum said that if a job’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing well. “No one will know what you’re wearing underneath, and you don’t want it to be too obvious that the model’s really a boy.” Mum told us.
