Chapter 105

That said: a couple of other good friends I have now are both young mothers, one straight, and one not. Go figure! I’m grateful.

Anon: What would your life have been like if you’d been born male?

You mean ‘My Alternate Life’?

If I’d been a boy, I would have been named Alan, after my uncle. Considering they had hoped for a boy, well, one wonders if that can affect the brain or hormones of a developing infant or what. Anyhow, Alan would probably have killed himself, being a real-life boy version of hyperactive, exploration oriented, afraid of nothing Carol. If he did not, he would have reached puberty and all would have been perfect.

Probably age ten, still in Marine City, I wouldn’t have been teacher’s pet! Though as adorable as I am now, I might have been irresistible as a boy. I can imagine my taking Dad’s little rowboat with its five HP engine and heading for Canada.
