Day 17 "Mom, I want to go to a swimming pool" I was a pretty boy when I was little. At least, that's what everyone was telling me. I've never seen myself handsome, even though people tell me that all the time. They say I have beautiful eyes. Idk. My self-esteem always has been pretty low, so I never believe them. So when I was around 6, my mom brought me to a swimming pool center. It was my first time ever I'd been to a community swimming center. I remember I was nervous - new surroundings, a lot of strange people etc. After meeting an instructor, I was guided to go change to a locker room. So I enter the room and see a lot of little girls of my age. I felt, from the beginning, that something was wrong. Why in the world they had nothing between their legs? I thought. Why I looked so different from them? I didn't know what to do. Should I get undressed in front of them or find a more secluded place? I went out to ask my mom where I was supposed to put on my fancy swim trunks. Apparently, my mom didn't see anything wrong in a some sort of coed locker room for boys and girls together. Only after I got out of there fully changed, they said that it was a girl's locker. They said that they mixed me up with a girl. Not the best swimming experience I'd imagined. lol. I can't say that it left me some kind of a childhood trauma, but I was embarrassed for sure. Good first swim, I guess😂 P.S. Oh, yeah, I never went to that swimming pool anymore😄 #moreфон2020 #moreфон_italki
