I bought 3rd born, aged 10, some little tankinis – she has no boobs yet but just needed something to cover her top half.
The following day I noticed that her boobs had grown over night! She was showing a rather impressive chest under her t-shirt – so impressive infact, she was rivalling my chest – not difficult to do, I know, but it’s taken me many a year to grow these babies, they didn’t appear overnight!
I didn’t comment I just glanced furtively every now and again. I had a suspicion they were stuffed boobs. It didn’t take 4th born long to whisper to me that her sister had stuffed tissue in her tankini 😄
Now this needed delicate handling. I didn’t want to embarrass her but needed to ensure she didn’t leave the house like this. If her sister noticed the stuffed tissue it wouldn’t take long for others to notice – and I didn’t want her to be teased for it.
As I tucked her into bed I said to her
“don’t stuff your tankini with tissue – it will stop your real boobies from growing”
She looked at me and starting laughing
“I’m serious” I replied “I used to do this all the time when I was your age – that’s why mine didn’t grow!” 😳
She looked down at my chest, with sympathy in her eyes – and promptly removed the remnants of nearly a whole loo roll ……………….. 😄
Haha… Good thing you saved her! Kids at school drag that kind of harassment for years and years.

aww bless, i’m not sure whats worse, getting teased for putting tissue in your bra or having barely any boobs. A friend of mine used to put tissue in hers and I was flat chested (still small chested ) so we both got teased. kids can be so mean.

I love how you handled the situation. I’m gonna keep it in mind for when I have a daughter! 😛 I’ve been reading so many boob posts in my feed today. It’s like the universe is giving me a sign or something. Maybe overnight I’m gonna wake up with some gorgeous ones?
