Hey you! Thank you as always for your input. So honest all the time. I was wondering when the average starting time was because I wanted to know at what age I should introduce the "birds and the bees" to my daughter. Never like to assume anything. I want to be so prepared.

It sounds like you got the brunt of the teasing. So sorry to hear that. I hated Junior high with a passion. I had this one boy make my life a living hell. I was chunky at that age. Had no self confidence. This boy who now I look back and can see just how geeky he was, and had no business teasing ME, teased me day in and day out. He would say, you are so fat and ugly. There was one day we were at recess outside and he spit in my hair. I was never so humiliated. That was the bottom of the pit to me.  I always lacked self confidence to this very day. I pray he doesn’t have to watch his children come home from school crying from being teased.

Hair. To shave or not to shave, that is the question. I shaved my legs in the first grade! My legs were SO hairy! I took my mother’s electric razor to them. My father almost fainted. I had REALLY hairy legs as a child. SO zip it went. My mother just laughed. It was fun to shave them. My sister in laws argue the same question, to shave top or just bottom. Welllll, if it is winter, my legs do not get shaved until the first sight of Spring. Then as my husband says, I have to call Roto Rooter to unclog the pipes with my hair! I shave the tops of my legs on occation in the summer. When I am wearing shorts to some function. But I am always too lazy and very well SHOULD shave those legs all the way up. I noticed the hairy legs on my daughter too. My mom said it is like looking at mine at that age. That makes me wonder if I do have CAH symptoms like Lynn T. mentioned the carriers could have. I do have a really faint "mustache" you can see in the sunlight at times. My husband will tease me once in a while. I tell him he just jealous he cannot grow one. Ha ha ha. Thank you for sharing. You are such a light to this board. Thank you. And for those rotten little kids that teased you as a child. Well, may they have children today that ask them embarrassing questions in the middle of a crowded room. May they crayon on their walls like Michael Angelo. And my favorite hex of all......."May the bare feet of those adults find one of their children’s Mega Block Legos on their path to the potty at 3 a.m.." (insert evil laugh here) And as our friend Dr. Phil would say....in his Texan voice, they would be a paddelin’ with one ore in the water. Take care Aimee. (hey did you hear he will have his OWN show next year? I am so excited!)
