The Story of Sissy

by Lady Katherine

 

If I thought the couch scandal would die down, I was wrong. It only got worse with the finding of more boys that were abused it simply got bigger and then turned ugly. I was called names even by the adults. Finally mother pleaded to my aunt Pat to take me away and it was decided my aunt Pat would take me to her summer place, the old farm that she inherited from my grandfather. But she could just not resist seeing her chance of getting me in a dress permanently and so I was to go as her niece and spend the summer living as a little girl. I was not asked of course I never was and so I remember sitting on my bed in my male looking room with all my models of planes and such in a corn flower blue nylon dress with puffed sleeves and white lace around the collar. It was the first time I wore a garter belt and nylons and was told not to get a run in them, my shoes were new 2 inch heels in black patent leather. My real hair was put up in curls the night before with aunt pats and mothers so we all slept with hair cullers in our hair. That had never happened. But I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach.

Why was this happening to me? I didn't mind being in dresses but full time as a girl I was not so sure about that. Aunt Pat came in to my room with my coat and hat well it is time to go dear she said. She saw how down I was and sat beside me.

"Look dear your mom and I think it is a perfect time to try being a girl the doctors said you would not make a very good male. So why not try this after all it is not like your leaving a normal boyish life behind. Your mother told me you have no real male friends and the friends you do have all wear dresses so why not join them and see what it is like. I know you will like it. After all it is not like you have never been in a dress before you do remember us taking you to the beauty pageants as a contestant when you were five. Well this is just a continuation of that. This is a great opportunity for you."

"Will I come back here in the fall for school I asked knowing the answer?"

"No dear it is much to dangerous here for you to enroll as a girl and by then well … lets just say being a boy may have certain difficulties in your appearance."

"You mean the pills don't you I asked her?"

"Just accept what is happening to you and let your mom and I worry about it she smiled.

So that was that she put on my fur coat and matching hat and gave me a fur muffler that had a pocket for my things in it. She applied lipstick and handed me the tube to put in my muff then we were off to the train and life in an even smaller town.

There were not many things for girls to do in the country. The boys in the summer worked on the farms or played little league. There were no scouts in the area but we did have the 4 H and most of the kids were in that. So the Christian young ladies club was about the only thing girls had for themselves. But as I discovered it was all they needed. The meetings were held in the churches fellowship hall and since I was a member now Aunt Pat dragged me to the meeting. Frankly I would prefer to just around the house in my dresses and not bother anyone but my aunt had other ideas. She wanted me active in the town's social life and so I found myself sitting with the girls at the meeting. I wore a mother daughter dress that went to my mid calf in powder blue rayon and nylon. There were 16 of us all in dresses none of the girls were allowed pants. The first order of business was to introduce me as a new member. I was greeted warmly and we sat down, I smoothed my petticoats under me and vowed not to say a word till the meeting was over. As usually things never went my way. The first order of business and in truth the only order was the summer dance or cotillion. It was to be formal and several of the girls announced they had their dresses already made. I rolled my eyes, I could barley sew and these girls were making their own formals. But all dresses were to be floor length it was announced for my benefit. And the girls were providing refreshments. But was shocked when Estelle asked me if I could make some sugar cookies I said of course not wanting her to know I had never made cookies and she smiled and put me down for 4 dozen. At this point I was a little apprehensive I didn't know how to cook and neither did Aunt Pat. But I forgot all about it when I heard the next part. We were going to be escorted by the local boys and only the ones who knew how to dance. And everyone was assured that none of the farm boys would be allowed to get near the Elks hall where the dance was being held during the dance it seemed one of them the previous year put a pole cat into the hall through an open window. The girls were horrified though I was so amused I almost giggled, until I realized none of the girls were. Then I thought about being in a long dress and having a polecat running around the floor and I realized it was not funny any more especially considering I was going to be in a dress at this dance. We were going to get the money to pay for the punch and other goodies and decorations by baby sitting. I had been over with some of my girls friends when they babied sat. All they did was keep watch on sleeping children while the parents went out on the town. The hardest part was keeping awake I figured I could do that so I put my name down. It was strange writing sissy instead of Daniel but I was learning. Then they brought out a fish bowl with disks in it. It was explained that on each was the name of a boy who would take one of us to the dance. When it came to me I tried to explain I might not be going to the dance. They giggled and I was told it was different here in the big city I might have dozens of dances to go to here there was only one summer dance and all the young ladies went to it. So I picked out a disk. I held it not wanting to see it but the other girls pestered me and so I read it out loud, Gerald Byer.

"Oh said Mary he is nice a bit tall but very nice he wears glasses you will like him".

Then the meeting was closed and we joined the parents for cake and ice-cream. I was furious at Aunt Pat when she drove me home.

"You knew there was a dance I would have to attend and you let me go to the meeting I shouted."

"Why yes dear it will do you good and you will get to be seen by the town this way it will be so nice."

"Aunt Pat I fumed I do not know how to dance I never learned."

"Oh good she smiled I was hoping you didn't now you can be trained properly in the girls role you will have no confusion as to who will lead. I have made arrangements for you to learn at Mrs. Tanner's."

"And I need a formal I squealed; I could not believe I had said that."

"Yes you will but don't worry we will get you a beautiful gown for the dance."

I started dance lesions at Mrs. Turner's a few days later she taught out of her home. She had a small sign on her porch that if you were not looking for it you would miss it. It was one of the old homes which had a living room and a formal parlor. The parlor was cleared and only a few chairs and a piano was left in the room (she also taught piano). There were mostly girls there the few boys were hard pressed to be partners to us all. So I learned where to put my hands and how to let the man guide you around the room. 1, 2, 3, 4, turn! So I thought I had everything handled when I got a phone call from Estelle who told me I had a baby sitters job the next day and I was to report there at 8am sharp. In the morning I gasped! It seemed that country baby sitting was far different than city style.

 

The next morning aunt pat corseted me to my last breath and had me wear a yellow flowered dress with two petticoats and a lace pinafore. My shoes were Mary Jane's with a slight heel and straps and a bow. I felt quite stylish as I stepped down from the car I said goodbye to my aunt and walked into the kitchen of Mrs. Gebheart.

'So you're the new girl are you dear well at least you look like you can do the job. Now I have to get some feed from the Agway store. I'll be back around late afternoon.

Are you wearing a corset she asked?"

I nodded yes.

"Patty is always fashionable isn't she smiled Mrs. Gebheart, well it may be hard now but you will have a beautiful figure when your older. I think all girls should be corseted. It develops character as well. My mother corseted me when I was your age. I hated it but it was for the best trust me. I plan to corset my Abigail when she is old enough." Then her expression changed and she said

"Now pay attention you have to change the diapers on the twins and feed the twins my milk in the refrigerator give Luke his lunch oh and there will be a man come around about noon for the food for the men in the fields you make 15 sandwiches and make some potato salad from the boiled spuds in the frig. Don't let him talk your ear off you have to feed the twins their bottles of formula so you have no time. Now don't forget. Oh and one more thing no beer if Eddie asks, he gets only coffee for the men the pot is on the stove."

No sooner had Mrs. Gerhard's truck bounced out of the driveway when

The twins began crying. I went into the room. Both of them needed changing, Aunt Pat taught me how to change babies and I had practiced on her dolls but this was the first time I changed a real baby. I discovered dolls did not have poop. I could not believe how one small baby like Abigail could have put all that in her diaper at once. But as careful as I was I still got poop on the changing table on me and the floor before I got it into the diaper pail. After I cleaned myself the floor and Abigail I then powdered her and put a new diaper on her. It looked perfect and I was quite proud of my self. So it was quite a surprise when I took off the twins diaper and he squirted me, BOYS gerr... who knew? He actually looked happy about it. But I cleaned myself once more and finished with the squinter and put him to bed. I was running late I had to fix the twins bottles. In the frig was a container labeled breast milk so I heated that. I took the two bottles and picked up Abigail and began to feed her. She nestled into my budding breasts and my nipples began to get hard. I wondered what would happen if

I put my own nipple in her mouth. The very thought made my nipples get so hard they hurt but my dress was a back zipper and then my bra I would have to get practically undressed to do it and it would not be good if Luke came in. Babies I thought smelled so clean and innocent I wanted to cuddle them all day but instead I burped them and put them to bed with their pacifier. Buy that time it was ten thirty and I have not even began to make the sandwiches. I opened the refrigerator and discovered that the baloney had to be sliced along with the bread I wondered how backward are these people? Everyone has sliced bread. Well after manually fighting with 20lbs of baloney on the roll I got 15 sandwiches made and wrapped in wax paper. Made Luke's soup and sandwich along with heating up the huge pot of coffee. When I remembered the potato salad and started on that while I called Luke to his lunch. I was so intent with the potatoes that I had not noticed Luke had come in with grubby hands and face.

"What are you doing I yelled your mom never let you come to table with dirty hands go wash them and be sure to get behind your ears!"

"Yes miss he said and ran to the washroom. Soon he came back and showed me his hands and ears."

'You're just like mom he said astonished. Girls are all alike."

Wow had I really said that I was getting like a mother. About then Eddie came into the kitchen.

"Hello I said the food is right here and the coffee is on the stove."

I went to pick it up but it was far too heavy for me now and he came behind me and put his hands on my arms I could smell his maleness, a musky strong sent mixed with beer.

"Let me help little lady he said, that is much too heavy for someone as pretty as you are.

"Let go I said nervously."

He had that look in his eyes like the high school couch and it frightened me. But he just held on harder.

We got time to talk don't we? You're the new girl in town. Think you're so uppity you can't have any time for me."

"Let go I said ... please I begged as he turned me around to face him. I glanced around for Luke but he was gone, a half eaten sandwich left on the plate. I was alone with Eddie. There was nothing I could do he was much stronger than I was. I did not want to have sex with him and he knew it. He would take it he had decided, the alcohol was talking now. But before he could do anything there was a man's voice behind him.

"You had better get that food in the truck Eddie and get it to the crew in the north field they can't wait all day."

Eddie let go of me as if I was burning hot and we both looked where the voice was.

There was a middle aged man holding some bloody pheasants in one hand and a doubled barreled shotgun in the other and Luke by his side.

"Hello little one you must be Sissy that Luke was telling me about. I am Mr. Evens I live on the farm next door I just stopped by to give the Mrs. A couple of pheasants."

Mr. Evens put the bloody birds on the table and nestled his shotgun in his arm.

As Eddie passed him he whispered to Eddie. "You know I have very poor eyesight I find you up here again I just may mistake you for a fat ring neck and empty this scatter gun into you."

When Eddie had gone Mr. Evens tipped his hat at me "you ok miss he asked."

"Yes I said but I did not feel it. Thank you I said and I bent down to Luke.

Thank you so much I told him. And he put his arms around me and kissed me I it was then I knew he was scared as well."

"Luke fetched me said Mr. Evens and now ill go I don't think Eddie will be back here any time soon."

He picked up the bloody birds and put them on his arm.

"But I thought they were for Mrs. Gebheart."

"Oh no dear me she hates pheasants ill be seeing you missy."

I watched him go still very shaky but Luke was back at his sandwich and I had to do dishes. I finally sat down in the living room and realized I had not eaten all day. I began to heat up some coffee. When Mrs. Gebheart came in with her truck she rushed into the house and asked,

"Are you OK?"

"Yes I said but how ...?"

"Mr. Evens told me what happened."

"Luke saved me I told her."

"Yes he did he is a very brave boy my Luke she smiled.

Then before I knew it I was in her arms and despite myself I began to cry and the more I cried the harder it was to stop. I never did cry like this I thought why am I doing this now?

"I'll call your aunt and she can come pick you up."

Aunt Pat came very quickly and rushed in with "are you Ok dear?"

"Yes I said a bit alarmed that such a fuss was being made of it."

"Why don't you bring us some coffee Mrs. Gebheart asked me and there are some scones in the refrigerator and clotted cream in the ice box bring them as well."

While I was in the kitchen I heard my aunt tell Mrs. Gebheart about my problem in high school with the coach. Oh no I thought she knows I am a boy. But I was relieved when Mrs. Gebheart said oh the poor girl it is no wonder she is so skittish about men.

On the way home I asked Aunt Pat why she told Mrs. Gebheart about the molestation.

"Because now your hesitation about boys can be explained."

"But you told her not to tell anyone about me?"

"Of course if I didn't, she would never think to tell anyone. Now of course she will spread it to all the ladies, every one will know but of course they will never let on they know. Small towns work differently than big cities dear."

Aunt Pat why do they do it? I mean I don't make a very pretty girl what would he want with me?

"Well in the first place I think you are very pretty, a bit flat chested but that will change you're already developing a cute bust and you will soon graduate into preteen bras, and you have a lovely face and a figure that will change as well."

"But why do men like that do it?"

"Well that is something inside them a kind of hate that turns them into a creature it has nothing to do with what you look like, you were in a dress and that is all that matters, but all men are not like him."

 

When we got home I sat in the sun room on the settee and watched a spider build a web on the window outside. The sun was warm and I felt so tired then the spider stopped building her nest and came up to the window and changed into the red queen. "Time to get up she said in my aunt's voice." The red queen turned into my aunt and the sun had set and the web was built.

"You were asleep dear you have had a long day babysitting now get out of that dress and into a night gown and come to bed. You still have a whole summer to have fun."
