I was so excited at the prospect of what was to come.
Mum had sent away for a really cute dress that I had seen in a catalog and it had come that morning.
I couldn’t wait for my dad to go to work so that I could try it on.
My mum had also bought me a slip to go with it, and some nice shoes with 2 inch heels.
That morning I tried to wobble around the house, getting used to being two inches taller and feeling totally wonderful in my new dress.
Soon the pills would arrive and I would be taking my first steps to womanhood.
