My mother's mother, my grandma, was in my father's opinion, "ODD". We spent the summers with her, which are the basis of most my growing up memories of being totally free.

I was in the raw middle of puberty. Everything was going wrong, my boobs just wouldn't grow fast enough, I felt my butt got too big, I had gone totally grown up between my legs and I had pubic hair, real thick pubic hair everywhere, even between my legs and up my behind. Gone was the day of being a young girl, with everything so neatly packaged and smooth. What I saw in the mirror I did not like.

My grandma noticed, how is the mystery of grandmas, but she noticed and she came to me and talked to me about becoming a woman. She told me that men liked women who had wide hips and hairy bushy vulvas, and breasts with nipples that stood out. That men liked naked girls, and they liked to get on naked girls and they liked to put their ugly penises inside naked girls. And when a man got on top of me and put his penis in me I
was going to like it.

She went on to tell me that for the next several years until I was fully mature, and ready for motherhood and being a wife, I was to enjoy my body. To discover my body, to poke it, to touch it, to look at it, and to dream of a man getting on me and putting his penis in me. Because that day was magic, and it was coming and I better be ready.

My breasts eventually cooperated and my I grew another inch, and my hips didn't seem that big, not compared with the other girls at school, the only thing that bothered me was that I had such a hairy bush. I masturbated almost daily, my grandma helped me find a couple of stimulators, one for my clit and one for penetration and she talked to me about all the ways that a man was going to want to penetrate me and to practice and practice some more, to get used to it.

On the summer between my junior and senior year in high school I went up to spend the summer and got a job at the local grocery store as a clerk cashier. By then we were on very open discussions about sex and pleasuring yourself, and she asked me if I had ever thought about finding a girlfriend and work at it together. I was speechless. But she wanted to talk.

She told me about being a nurse in Vietnam and the only thing that got her through it was this other nurse. They would get in bed naked and make love until they fell asleep. On really bad days, they took it out that way, no men, just the two of them, and pretended and pretended that they were going to go back to the world, that is what she called coming home, and give themselves up and make babies, so many babies. She confessed to me that she and her friend remained friends and still share each other, even at her age. A girlfriend is the most important thing to have, someone who feels like you and you can share the most difficult parts of your life. She asked me again to think about getting a girlfriend.

I know why my dad calls my grandma 'ODD', but he doesn't know why.

I am of course, you can see, not a young woman any more, I have a daughter who is going through puberty and she doesn't have my grandma to hold her hand, it will have to be me. I found my girlfriend. My dad thinks our relationship is too close for comfort. My husband says if it floats so what. My grandma said don't hold back. My mom keeps her mouth shut. Turns out I am 'ODD' too.
