Eleven Weeks
“I’d follow Sean around, begging him to let me ride my bicycle with him and his mates down the bush track to the creek.
I’d sneak into Shae’s room while she was on the phone then quickly bolt back out again when she threw her pillow at me. I’d even try look under the door when I knew she had a boy in there.
I wanted to shave my legs at aged ten, but Mum wouldn’t let me. I did it anyway.
I had my first alcoholic drink at age thirteen. It was a sip of Sean’s beer. I hated it, but drank... it regardless.
I’ve always wanted to grow up a whole heap faster than was really possible. I always pretended to be older than I was.
Now I wish I’d slowed it down.
Now, I’m pregnant and sitting on the couch in the most unladylike fashion imaginable, legs spread out, hand behind my head. A giant bowl full of popcorn sits on my stomach.
