boobage

You guys! Or rather, girls!!!! Thank you SOOOOO much. You helped me more than you know. And yes, was inquiring for a book--not 14, but Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks, which comes out next spring. Yahoo! Boobage is an issue, as in the book, the 14-yr-old sis has bigger boobs (all of a sudden) than the 15-yr-old sis, and it causes...lots of things, many of them messy.

Here's a new one for ya, if you're willing to share. What do y'all think a dad-person would say /not say about his little girl's "new" figure? I'm not talking about in any kind of gross way AT ALL. Just that, well, I remember when it became awkward to be as huggy with my dad as it was when I was a truly little kid, and I remember being sad about that. I myself am quite un-boob-ful, however. I just wonder if anyone's had the experience of a dad commenting in some way about a daughter going from "little kid" to "young woman." Again, for research purposes, and again, only if you want to share!

Seriously, y'all are the best. Thank you!!!!

Dads really don't say anything except u r still mi little girl even when ur 90 (which is what mi dad says) It's sweet! I guess if a dad is really worried he'd say something.

(Anonymous): the "dad" issue

Well to help you out my dad never really said anything. When ever he would put his hand on my back like to hug me or pull me closer to him he would rub my back right were my bra. Not creepy or anything because he normally rubbed my back but it was kinda weird.

i have a reallllly small frame and sometimes my dad worries i'm not getting enough nutrition. One night I didn't want to eat something we were having at dinner and in front of my mom and my sister he says "Do you want your boobs to grow?!" and then I was embarassed for the rest of dinner and had to force whatever it was down my throat. Yah, embarassing I know.... :X)

(Anonymous): My dad said something- ugh!

One time, when I was on vacay, I was with my mom, and she told me that my dad had asked if my--er--breasts were real. How embarrassing! I never told him I knew he said that, but other than that comment, and the usual "your shirt is too tight-your breasts look huge" comment, my dad and I get along really well.

By the way... I really love your books! I hope that I can get the book that tells you how to write a book and how to find publishers-I want to become an author! I write my own stories and actually researched some publishing companies as best I could.

[info]hilly_wa: Dads and Boobs

My father told me when I was 8 that he didn't want me wearing high heeled boots because "She looks like a 16 year old prostitute VERONICA! I AM NOT LETTING MY LITTLE GIRL GO OUT LIKE THAT NO MATTER HOW 'COOL' SHE LOOKS!"
I had a b-cup back then, before the 34D.
Then my dad suggested when I was 12 not to go to Magic Mountain "In that ridiculous tie-die halter top. Your tits are gonna fly up and out."
Deeply embarassing, but really funny when you think about it.

um....er...
well what happened to me was...
it was my b day
and my dad said he had a birthday present for me
he gave me my present which was wrapped in wrapping paper
and when i opened it, there were star earrings from claire's, and there was a bra!!!! i was so upset i grabbed the earrings and ran to my room. I gave him the silent treatment for the whole week.
well, i guess he bought me the earrings too because he didn't want to make it seem as if the only thing he wanted to give me was a bra, ya know?
oh well
it was bad, bad bad bad!

(Anonymous): i dont know what to call it!!

Well i guess that if a dad noticed about his doughters um... new figure he might think that she's growing up too fast or like she is being too grown up, like wearing make-up in 5th and 6th grade. My dad barely ever says anything about um changing (thank GOD)and i like it that way.

Hi!
I'm 14 and my Dad has started to start saying stuff like,' My little girls growing up!!' And my Mum teases me about my boosums. I hang out with this girl whos 8, and I walked in her house and her Mums like,' Gosh, your boobs hae grown!' How embarrising!??
It's so annoying because if I had it MY way, I'd be twelve forever, and ever. I dont want to grow up, so I just act like a kid. My Dad doesnt comment any more, cus he knows I'm bummbed about growing up, and that I'm a big kid. My Mum used to comment too, but she just says I'm the biggest kid. And when my little brother (who's 10) and I fight, he trys to bring me down by teling me to grow up and he says that I'm a teenager.
Well I dot care what my 'rents say, I am a kid, and thats final. *Hehe* :)

Today I had the craziest and weirdest dream ever!!! This is it:
I lived in a huge boarding school with all my cousins, and millions of
other people.
That boarding school was like a factory, because they made the kids
make metal stuff, and boxes and all this weird factory stuff, you
know.
So I was walking with boxes full of metal cubes, until suddenly the
manager grabed me by the arm and pulled me to the top of the old
building/factory called the tower. He started scolding me and shouting
at me about some money stuff. He was like, "So, Claudia.... on the
19th century, we had made about 60 dolars per month. Now we're making
54!!!!!! Why??? Because of YOU!!!!!!" I was ready to throw up. In my
head I was like, Sure, it was all my fault. But in the dream I had
powers, so I flew away from him, and went downstairs with my cousins.
I told them about it, and so we left the stupid
factory-boarding-school place. We walked and found a ginourmous house
that said "Come In!!!! It's Free" so we went in, and there we found
our parents. Then there was another sign that said, "Choose a room to
stay at!!! So I found a pretty room and started flying around and
jumping on the bed. Then Alyssa/Dora (a girl i dont like) came in and saw me, and she had
this weird orangie hair. She screamed and said, "THIS IS MY HOUSE, AND
THIS IS MY BED!!!!!!"
and she bounced around with her big belly and screamed like crazy.
Then my mom said' "BOMB!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" and all my cousins and
everyone got out and my mom threw the bomb out the window, and then
some thieves grabed the bomb and stole it and ran away. Then Dora
said' "MY HOME!!!" and started crying. She gave me some pictures and
videos, and I watched them, and they were about us and how much she
hated us and how she will always hate us. Then I threw them out and
saw Micalea, Hannah, and Sarah (my friends) and some other girls I didn't know
swimming at a pool, so I went to swim with them. Then I saw the factory
manager running towards me, so I screamed and flew as fast and high as
I could into the sky, and my friends followed me, but them the manager
managed to grab my leg, and he started pulling at it, and I was so
scared I screamed again, then thank god, I WOKE UP.
WHOA!!!--

(Anonymous): Dramas and Pijamas

Well, he'd say a goofy, kind of ironic comment, I suppose.
One time I was about to watch a DVD at home. I was in my pijamas, with nothing underneath. I was so stupid I leaned down (and not even accidentally!). The pijamas had a big (but not too big) v-neck cut!!
So my dad was leaving but suddenly he pops out the door with a "my girl's growing up" look and says:
"Whoa, now you've got a REAL neck-line!!"
I wanted the earth to swallow me right there, but my mom had to go and say:
"OOOH, how sweet..."

Well, that's my story, hope it helps-

(Anonymous): another situation

Well, I needed a bigger bra size once, and so I had to get it online only (rare size). But I needed my dad to order it, and so I had to give him my size and everything! It was terrible, but I lived- there weren't any bad/mean comments though.

What else is Peace Love and Baby Ducks about?

I hate her, she's super blonde, SUPER big boobs, and she says stuff like "Oh, Hailey, ya'll daddy is so cute!" and that's not even the beginning, at breakfast, she says, "Hailey, sweetheart, I know how 'barrassin' it is to go bra shoppin' but maybe we could go together! You could an A or whatever size U r, and I'll get my special bra, I mean U need one when U got girls as big as these!" Can U beleev that????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean wtf? Besides, i already have a A 36, btw. Oh, and my dad was at work, and i came home early cuz my tummy didn't feel well, and she says, "I'll take care of u, I bet all i'm worth that your mother would NEVER take care of U, no matter HOW sick ya'll were!" I was like excuse me?! Who the hell are U to talk bad about my mommy? not U Lauren. The worst part is my dad and i are so close, but, he spends all his time with Daisy!
What do I do, Mommy?

Hailey
