I felt absolutely ridiculous as I walked from Mom’s car to Kayla’s house. I was wearing a new two-piece pajamas that Mom had bought. It was bad enough that the camisole top and the baggy pants were a soft pink, but across the top it said in dark pink script, “Daddy’s Little Girl.” My hair was in pig tails tied up with bright pink ribbons. I was also carrying a Barbie sleeping bag, along with a pink overnight bag with a change of clothes and make-up in it. I looked like a walking billboard for Pepto-Bismol.

I argued with Mom about the camisole top since it revealed just how flat on top I was. Mom had argued back that being small was normal for some girls my age if Kayla’s mom took any notice and that the girls there for the sleep over knew I wasn’t a girl. She also made me wear a training bra instead of the normal one that I usually wear and stuffed with something.

Mom drove away before I rang the doorbell so Kayla’s mom wouldn’t see her and raise questions. Kayla answered the door wearing a baby blue night gown. “Michelle! You’re so cute! Come on in. The other girls are already here.”

“Don’t call me Michelle! You’ll give me away. Call me something else.” I protested.

Kayla laughed and said, “Holly and Gina are already calling you Michelle. We can’t call you Mike and since they think you look like your ‘cousin’s’ twin, they want to call you Michelle too.”

As Kayla closed the door behind me, I said, “I’m surprised they haven’t caught on. I mean who’s going to believe cousins... identical cousins all the way.”

Kayla shrugged and said, “They might suspect, but they haven’t said anything to me.”

Before she could finish what she was going to say, Gina bounded into the living room and shouted, “Yay! Michelle’s here! Holly, Michelle’s here!”

As Holly came hurrying in from some back room, presumably Kayla’s room, Kayla said, “All right, guys! Let’s get this party started!”

Kayla pointed to the floor of the living room as the place to dump my sleeping bag and stuff. As they hurried off towards the kitchen, I took a quick status check. Kayla’s mom was sitting in the dining room, adjacent to the living room. She got up when the girls started for the kitchen. Kayla’s dad was nowhere in sight. He was probably hiding in his bedroom watching TV.

As I entered the kitchen, Holly was already sticking a bag of popcorn into the microwave. Kayla’s mom was pouring Kool-Aid. Kayla took me by the hand and said, “You’re going to bake cookies!”

“I’ve never made cookies before!”

Kayla grinned and said, “It’s time you learned how to cook, girl!”

The kitchen was a complete zoo with three girls and me running around and giggling, trying to get snacks ready. Making cookies was pretty easy and I wondered why I never had done it before.

Kayla’s mom said, “You guys go watch a movie or something, I’ll keep an eye on the cookies.
