My two best friends, Joyce Parks and Gina Weaver were the first to arrive. They were near my age but a few inches taller. In fact, on average, all of the students my age were a little taller. Fortunately, most of my classmates were cool about it. Both Joyce and Gina were greeted by mom. "Nancy will be out in a minute." Kindly, she said. "She's going through a few changes right now."
Joyce sighed. "Her time of the month, huh... she should still be able to swim."
Gina winced. "Is she feeling shy about it?"
"Nancy did have her first period yesterday but that's not the kind of change I was referring to." Softly, mom said. "She had a growth spurt."
At that moment, I walked out, wearing mom's one piece floral swimsuit, blushing. "It's a little tight, mom." Frowning, I said. "We'll need to go shopping soon."
Joyce and Gina looked at me in shock. "Now that's a growth spurt!" In awe, Gina said.
I sighed and turned to mom only to find out why her swimsuit was too tight. I was now able to look over her head! "Oy vey...!"
