My story goes back to the mid-50s, when my mother and her sister rented a place in Miami Beach for six weeks in mid-February to get away from the cold weather in Chicago.
I was eight years old at the time and my female cousin Cheryl was seven. The sisters were able to get a large, two bedroom apartment one block from the beach. It was like paradise – every day, we would go over to the beach, play in the sand and run into the warm water of the ocean. What fun!
In the afternoons, Cheryl and I would go out to the courtyard and play hide and seek and other childhood games. There was also a park nearby where our mothers would take us so we could play on the jungle gym.
My cousin was quite adventurous and she loved to hang upside down on the parallel bars showing off her cotton panties. Every day they were a different colour, and I marvelled at how cute they were and got quite excited seeing her cute little bottom encased in this underwear.
