This is getting entirely out of hand…….
Sam’s mother is not only going all out to humiliate her in front of someone who knows her, I really wonder if she has any idea just how much real physical danger she is putting Sam in.

I agree. Hopefully there has
I agree. Hopefully there has been some pre planing between the two moms that Sam and us readers are not aware of. Maybe Del is gay and that's why he was bullying Sam. Maybe Del is ok with transgenders because he had another friend transition and he is a "safe" friend (minus the bullying). I get that Sam needs to learn a lesson (and come to terms with who she is) but this might be taking things too far if it's completely spontaneous.
Wait, wait :)
A conspiracy instead of spontaneous goofiness? :) I dunno, sounds paranoid to me. :)

You
are both reading way too much into this story. I think it is really fun and funny.

I think
I think you can trust me not to blow my quirky, gentle comedy apart with scenes of torture and degradation. The possums are in the shed out back. :)

Eep!
I almost forgot about the possoms in the shed! How's Sam gonna get her boy clothes out of the shed with them in there? I mean, his boy clothes. I mean .. ummm ... that is ... hrmmm. Maybe Sam won't need to worry 'bout 'em possoms? ;)
Worry
Sam always worries about the possums. One way this story could end is that Sam's parents could tell thim that that thay could have thair boy clothes back to wear if thay just go get them out of the shed. "Nope, nope," Sam would say. "I'll just keep wearing dresses." :D

I wonder ...
... who's on the other side of Mrs D's phone? If it's Del, how he'll react when he sees Sam? In the last chapter, his mom said he thought Sam dressed like a boy. Does that mean he sees Sam as a tomboy? So many interesting questions! Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful chapter of this story! :)
Actually
Actually, it's Humbert, Del's dad, on the phone. And we will find out what Del thinks of Sam soon. :)

"And besides," I told myself quietly, "I'm a guy."

You had to say that,
didn't you? Now I'm going to have to go look for it for real, I love that dress! I was planning to go look for it by description, knowing I'd never find it and be satisfied with that. But Nooooo! Now I'm going to have to look where you said, probably find it and then have the dilemma of buy it or not. Brat!

Dress
Sold out

A comedy of errors.
I think someone might have used that already. If this is a plot, from the cost of the dress alone, it would be a very expensive haircut. Thanks for another episode.

That's cheap
Many date-style dresses, or just non-casual dresses are well in excess of $100, and $200 wouldn't be out of line. A $1,000 dress might seem out of line, but there are a lot of them for sale out there, so somebody is buying them.

Online prices
Online prices tend to be lower, but in the case of this specific dress--I'm looking at a springtime catalog in August. I think this dress was on clearance. Looking at the photos, it used to come in other colors but all that's left is the lavender.
I wish I was young enough and slim enough to shop at LULUS, they have some kicky stuff!

Shopping
I do around 99% of my shopping online. My online purchases are $75+, Skirts are $49-$79+, blouses are anywhere from $19 up to $79 or higher. (I buy most of my lingerie locally, and NOT from the various *marts.) I try to stay in the high teens to mid-thirties, style-wise. I'm a size 10, so I can pull it off. And this being a university town, the thrift stores are just packed with clothing in my styles and sizes.
This dress closed out at $55, but is no longer available. Sorry

Thanks for commenting
The dress is somewhat cheaper online, but I figured a store might mark up such a dress a bit.

Great Story!
Played catch up on this whole story over the last day or so, I LOVE it. Sam is an AMAZING character. I enjoy every bit of his wit and snark. This is a smart, fun story. I can't wait to read more :)
Thanks for commenting!
Sam is fun to write. :)

Sometimes Gender is Fluid
Not having read the earlier chapters I wanted to look at the style and flow of the story. Certainly not disappointed. The dialog and descriptive is very well paced and compliments each other rather than just tossed in. I'm positive if I delved into the story it would pull me in along with the actors and actresses.

Out of control
Mom is having some perverted fantasy trying to turn her son gay. Ignoring what her son is telling her might end up causing psychological as well as possibly physical damage.

Not that kind of story
It really isn't. :)
