Winky Dink
By Margaret Jeanette
Toby and Margaret Bower were making love. Margaret wished he was
better endowed as he could just reach her magic spot sometimes.
This was not the time. She just wished she could do something about
it.
The next morning she said to him, "We have been married for five
years and I think only twice in those five years you have managed
to hit my magic spot when we are making love. Why don't you check
with a doctor to see if there is something to make your tool larger
or longer? You are pretty small in that area!"
"I don't need a doctor! Did you ever think about the fact that
maybe your magic spot might be recessed?"
"I am only asking that you ask a doctor if he thinks he can
help."
"I don't want to talk about it!"
He knew she could be mean at times but she always was sorry for
it afterward and would be very loving. He knew she hated her father
because he always punished her. He wondered if sometimes she
thought of him as her father.
The subject was dropped, with Margaret feeling bad she'd
mentioned it. She knew he was touchy whenever she said anything
about his sexual ability.
Three days later they were shopping at the town's mall and
walking down the concourse when they heard a woman shouting, "Hey,
is that you Winky? Tammy? Is that you? "
He recognized the voice. Joyce, a girl he'd known in high
school. There was only one Joyce who had a loud voice like that. He
urged his wife to keep on walking. He heard hurried steps coming up
on them. A hand landed on his shoulder and spun him around.
"It is you, Winky, isn't it? I never thought I would ever see you
again after you moved away. Isn't this a small world? You remember
Dirk, don't you? Well we've been married for four years now."
He looked at Dirk and bad memories came into his head. He had bad
memories of high school, where both of them had been his chief
tormentors.
"Aren't you going to introduce your friends, Toby?" his wife
asked.
"This is Joyce and Dirk Duggan, Margaret. I knew them in high
school. We don't have a lot of time so we have to get going."
Margaret asked, "She called you Dinky, and then I would swear it
was also Tammy. What was that all about?"
"It was nothing. Let's get going!"
Joyce spoke up, "I can tell you but it's a long story. As long as
we're near the food court, if you have time we can get a cup of
coffee and I can tell you about it."
He was mortified when Margaret said, "I would like to hear all
about it. He never told me anything about when he was in school.
Toby, go to Haroldson's and get me a pair of suntan pantyhose. I am
going to have a cup of coffee with your friends."
He walked off his shoulders sagging. As he walked he remembered
those awful high school days. He hoped Joyce wouldn't tell
Margaret all about everything that happened way back then. He had
thought that by moving two hundred miles away he would never meet
any of his old schoolmates. He felt a sense of dread.
Meanwhile Joyce was telling Margaret the story. Margaret couldn't
believe what she was hearing.
"The story starts when we were juniors in high school. One day
after physical education the boys were taking a shower and one of
the boys noticed your husband's small pecker and said something,
and they all started calling him Winky Dink for his small pecker.
Of course the word got around and everyone started calling him
Winky Dink. Then one day at noon four of us girls managed to get
him surrounded and pull his pants down. We laughed at his small
member and one girl who had a locker right there said he should be
wearing a dress with such a small member. She pulled the dress out
and five minutes later we had him undressed and wearing the dress.
I put a heavy coat of lipstick on him and as I was doing that I saw
his shoulders drop, and I knew we had him. I added eye shadow and
a heavy coat of mascara. He was like a rag doll. He wanted his
clothes back but we locked them in a locker so he couldn't get
them. One of the girls said he looked more like a Tammy than a Toby
so we named him Tammy. He had to wear the dress for the rest of
the school day. We didn't know it but when he got home his mother
told him as long as he was wearing a dress he should keep it on.
His mother it turns out had a real mean streak in her. He told her
what had happened and that night she called me and said she wanted
to talk to me."
"Well, the next day after school I stopped at their house and
thought she was going to give me a real lecture about bothering her
son. I was surprised when she said she was not surprised, as her
son was not the most masculine boy in the world. She said if I
dropped any other dresses off that fit him she would make sure he
wore them to school. She said then maybe he would become more of a
man. I couldn't believe it, and two days later we girls had come
up with nine dresses for him. The next day he came to school
wearing a dress. The school principal had him in his office and
then I was called in. When I explained that his mother had dressed
him like that I knew the principal wouldn't want to get involved,
it was a family matter. He was kind of spineless. Every day when
Winky Dink wore a dress I would apply make-up to him. It got so he
would just stand there and allow me to do whatever I wanted."
"He has never said a word about his high school days, and now I
can see why. I just can't imagine him in a dress."
"He did look kind of cute wearing a dress. But I have to tell you
about the junior prom. We girls got the idea of dressing him for
the prom. We got a dark blue shoulderless prom dress for him. We
talked a girl into asking him to the prom. He agreed, thinking she
really liked him. When they arrived we met them outside the school.
Dirk helped get him into the prom dress, then took him by the arm
and led him in. I told him if he didn't stay until the end Dirk
would beat him up. When the court was picked he was picked to be
in it and had to go up on stage. Everyone laughed, and when it was
time to pick the queen everyone called out Tammy. He just about
fainted when the crown was put on his head."
Margaret was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. She
couldn't believe her husband had done all of that. She now realized
why he had never introduced her to his mother.
"I must tell you I have told him to see a doctor about his size.
I know he's awful small down there. I can't think of anything to do
to make him realize how inadequate he is."
"Why not re-introduce him to a dress? He is really kind of cute
in one, you know."
"I don't think I could get him into a dress. I have no idea how
to go about it."
"We're in town for two days. We could come over, and I am sure
Dirk can get him into a dress. In school he was altogether
submissive in a dress, and I'm sure he will be now. Then once he's
in one you can take complete control over him. Do you want to try
it?"
Margaret agreed, and they immediately went to find just the right
dress for him. He returned, just missing them. He couldn't find
them so he got a glass of soda and waited.
Forty five minutes later he heard laughter and knew at once it
was Margaret's laugh. He felt relieved to hear that laugh. He saw
both of them were carrying some bags. They were both laughing over
something.
Margaret said it was time to go home, and then surprised him when
she said to Joyce that she would see her later. Joyce handed him
four bags and he carried them to the car.
As he was driving home he asked what she meant when she told
Joyce she would see her later. Margaret told him she had given
Joyce their address and told her to stop over any time, He told
her he would rather not see either Joyce or Dirk again. Margaret
didn't answer him.
At home Margaret showed him three dresses she had bought. He had
to agree they all looked great and that he couldn't wait to see her
in them. He said one was especially feminine and would show off her
assets wonderfully. When she showed him a nylon baby doll pajama he
joked that she just needed the top when she wore it.
After supper she asked if he would be a dear and do the clean up.
He agreed, and while he was loading the dishwasher he heard the
doorbell ring. Then he heard unintelligible voices and when he was
done went into the living room. He was shocked to see Joyce and
Dirk there.
"I invited Joyce and Dirk over so we could talk about old times.
I have never heard you say anything about your school days and they
were kind enough to say they could tell me about them."
"Why don't you go change into a Tammy type outfit so your wife
can see how pretty you can be?" Joyce said.
"I am not going to change and you can't make me. This is my house
and you have no right to even suggest such a thing."
"I know what; we will ask your wife if she wants to see you as
Tammy. Margaret dear, would you like to meet Tammy?"
"I think I would. I laid out an outfit on the bed for Tammy.
Toby, why don't you go in and change into Tammy?"
"I am not going in to change! Get that idea out of your head
right now!"
He sat with his arms folded across his chest. Dirk got up and
quickly got him standing with his right arm in a hammerlock. He
still refused to change. Dirk put more pressure on his arm, and the
pain was getting unbearable but still he held firm. When Dirk put
still more pressure on his arm he finally agreed to change.
Joyce told Dirk to escort him into the bedroom. Dirk spun him
around without letting go, and he was sure his arm would break at
any time. In they went, and the two women followed. When he was in
the bedroom, Dirk quickly got him naked from the waist down. He
started to unbutton his shirt, and he couldn't believe it when
Margaret handed Dirk a pair of scissors to use to cut his shirt
off.
Standing completely naked with Dirk holding him in the hammerlock
he couldn't believe this was happening to him. He tried to squirm
out of the way as Joyce glued breast forms on his chest. Then she
attached a strapless bra to him, bending the hooks, knowing that
that he wouldn't get it off without help from someone. . He
involuntarily lifted each foot as Dirk lifted him a bit so Joyce
could get the nylons on him. She wrapped the garter belt around his
waist and soon his nylons were attached to the garters. Then she
attached a gaff to him telling him it was too big for him but it
was the smallest one made, and she was laughing.
Then Joyce got an inspiration. She applied a thick coat of
lipstick to his lips. She saw his shoulders sag and knew he was
defeated again. She told Dirk to let him go. He was now in his rag
doll mode, the same as when he was in high school.
She put a slip over his head, and next came the dress that he had
told Margaret was so pretty. She had him slip a pair of heels on
and soon had the ankle strap locked. She said he was already
looking pretty, but he just stood there as if in a trance.
Margaret had never thought she would see the day something like
this would happen to him.
Joyce maneuvered him backwards and down onto Margaret's vanity
bench. Then she proceeded to do the rest of his make-up. She did
him in dark slutty colors and laughed when he made a face of
disgust.
When she said they forgot that he would need a wig, Margaret said
she had one she had worn a couple of years ago on Halloween.
Minutes later he was adorned in the chestnut brown wig with curls
framing his face. Joyce opened a jewelry box and soon found a pair
of clip-on dangly earrings. Then it was a necklace and bracelet.
She slid his wedding ring off, saying the way he was dressed he
shouldn't be wearing a man's ring. She slid the watch off of his
wrist and soon found three rings which she put on his fingers.
Joyce stood back and looked at her handiwork. She said she
thought she'd done all right, transforming him. Margaret commented
that he looked like a completely different person.
Dirk joined in, saying he looked just like a Tammy to him.
Margaret told him to get the three of them a drink and to serve
them on a tray. She smiled when she saw he was having a bit of
difficulty walking in the heels.
Joyce noticed the false nails kit on the vanity and asked
Margaret if she thought he should have long painted nails. She
agreed saying she thought that would complete the picture.
He served the drinks in the living room, but Joyce got up and
told him to come with her. She had him sit down at the dining room
table and had him put his hands flat on the table with his fingers
straight out.
When she was done he had the prettiest pink fingernails of anyone
they had ever seen. His cheeks were blushing bright red. Joyce
handed him her drink and told him to take a drink. He did as
instructed.
The two of them stayed for some time, telling how Dirk was an
expert witness in an up-coming trial, and they were in town to
study the situation so he would be aware of the layout where the
crime had taken place.
Joyce finally said, "We have to leave and get back to our motel.
Why don't you and Tammy come up to visit us sometime? We only live
fifty miles away."
"That sounds like fun. When can we get together?"
"How about driving up next Friday? We have two spare bedrooms and
you and Tammy can spend the whole week-end. I'll call some of our
old high school friend and we can have a party Saturday night."
Margaret said that was a great idea and Dirk drew a map of how to
find their place. They left and Margaret told them they would see
her and Tammy next Friday evening.
"Well, Tammy, I must say you do look really nice. In fact I think
I like you looking like that better than the way you looked
before."
He was getting his senses back now that Joyce and Dirk were gone.
He demanded, "This is ridiculous. How could you let them do this to
me? Get me out of these clothes right now!"
"No, I think you should stay in those clothes for a while. You
look so pretty and you must admit you are not much of a man."
"I am enough of a man to know this is absolute stupidity. You
can't be serious leaving me in a dress!"
"I think you should stay wearing dresses until you can truly
admit you are not much of a man. You will wear dresses until you
admit it, then I will decide whether you should go back to your
men's clothes or not."
He was shocked. She had never spoken to him like that before. He
was enraged that she wasn't helping him get these clothes off.
"How could you let Joyce lead you into believing I belonged in a
dress? She was my biggest tormentor in school, and you actually go
along with anything she says. I can't believe you'd do that!"
"Well, I think it is a great idea. Like I said, I think you look
better in that dress than you did before. I think you should
continue wearing dresses. In fact I am telling you that you will
continue to wear a dress until I decide otherwise."
He had never heard her talk like that before. He was at a loss.
He decided to take a different tact.
"I am your husband and I demand you help me get out of these
clothes!"
He saw an angry look come over her face and she walked out of the
room. She returned two minutes later carrying two purses. She
handed him one and told him to come with her. He said he wasn't
going anywhere.
She grabbed his ear and pinched and twisted it, and in those
heels he had to follow her. She led him out to the car and got him
sitting in the passenger seat. Then she got in and drove. He had no
idea where they were going. She stopped when she got to the far end
of what was the red-light district of their town.
She stopped and said, ?Now you can get out and walk home from
here or you can agree to wear dresses until I say you can stop. You
have two minutes to decide."
She told him when one minute past then with thirty seconds to go.
When the time was up she asked him for his answer. He said there
was no way he was going to continue to wear dresses. She told him
to get out but he wouldn't move.
She got out and soon had his door open and told him to get out
right now. He refused to move. She reached in and got his ear
again. Soon he was standing on the sidewalk. She quickly got in and
locked the doors, and then she opened the window and asked him
again if he'd changed his mind about wearing dresses. He answered
no with a vulgarity, and she sped off.
He stood for a minute, and then started to walk home. At the
first corner he saw three women he could tell were street-walkers.
He walked on past without saying anything to them.
He was in the middle of the next block when he heard a man's
voice call out for him to stop. He kept on walking. He had taken
about five steps when someone grabbed him. He was spun around, and
found he was facing the biggest black man he had ever seen.
"What are you doing working my block?"
"I'm just walking home."
"With that make-up on you are just walking home, huh?"
"Yes, that is all I'm doing--walking home."
"If you are going to use my block you will pay me twenty-five per
cent and favors. Now you look like a smart girl so I will not beat
you for using my block to do business. Come with me so I can
collect on the first of the favors."
He held on to his arm and almost lifted him off the ground. He
took him just inside a building and all he saw was a small cot. The
big black man reached under his skirt and felt him up, and swore
when he felt the gaffe. He said that he would have to use the back
door or his mouth. He pushed him down on the cot on his stomach.
It didn't take a minute for him to have Toby's skirt up and start
entering him. Toby felt immense pain as he was entered. He couldn't
believe how painful it was. As quick as it started it was over. He
was lifted to his feet, using his arm as a handle.
"You are now one of Bubba's girls. All of my girls charge
seventy-five dollars for a blow job and two hundred for back door
entry or two fifty for front door entry. You can work the block
anytime day or night. It is a busy block and I know you can make
good money. Welcome to Bubba's harem!"
"It is true, I was just walking home. I swear it on a bible!"
"Sure, sure you were. If that is so then get going!"
He walked out the door trying to walk so his rear didn't hurt so
much. No matter what he tried it hurt. He gave up trying.
A little over two hours later he was rounding the corner of his
block. He started sobbing uncontrollably. He walked up the walk to
his house and found the door locked. He rang the doorbell. After
what seemed to be an eternity he heard Margaret's voice asking who
was there.
"It's me, your husband!"
"Are you going to agree to wear dresses? If you don't agree you
can find somewhere else to stay."
"Will you hand me my men's clothes?"
"You are dressed all right. A dress is more fitting for you. Now
are you going to agree to wear dresses or not. It is getting late
and I want to get to bed. You have two minutes to decide."
"One minute and counting. Thirty seconds. Times up!"
"I'll agree, I'll agree. Now let me in please!"
She undid the lock and let him in. She saw he was all disheveled
and looked terrible. She knew something had happened to him but
what?
"How was your moonlight stroll? Did you enjoy it?"
"No, a man attacked me and raped my rear end and it is all your
fault!"
"Don't say it is my fault. You could have gotten back into the
car if you would have agreed to my terms. All you did is put off
the inevitable."
"All I want to do is take a shower and get to bed. Today has been
a disaster for me. I wish I was never born."
"Come on, I'll help you get undressed."
She helped him get undressed and before he got into the shower
she made him apply hair removal lotion to himself. In the shower he
was amazed at how fast the hair came off. When he was done he said
he felt like a new man again. She reminded him he was now a woman
for all intents and purposes. She said as long as he felt so
refreshed he could get dressed again.
Ten minutes later he was completely dressed in the same clothes
he had worn before. Margaret told him to fix her a glass of warm
milk and two pieces of buttered toast. She told him to serve it on
a tray.
He brought her snack and she told him to wait and he could take
the glass and plate back out into the kitchen. He was going to sit
down but she told him he could stand and wait. He was standing and
he noticed his legs were sore from all the walking he had done in
the heels. She finished the snack and said she was going to bed. He
followed her into the bedroom. And she asked what he thought he was
doing. He said he was going to get ready for bed.
She told him she wasn't going to sleep with another woman of any
sort. She took him into the spare bedroom and opened the closet
door. He saw some dresses and heels in there.
"While you were taking your stroll I moved your new clothes in
here. This is your new bedroom. You are not to enter my bedroom
unless I tell you to. If I am in there I expect you to knock and
ask permission to enter. Do you understand?"
He said he did and she walked out. He got the dress off after
some maneuvering with the back zipper. He saw nightgowns hanging in
the closet. When he went to remove the bra he found he could not
get the hooks undone. He tried getting the heels off and found they
were locked on his feet.
He went by her bedroom and knocked. She told him to enter. He
asked her to help him get the bra off and if she would unlock the
shoes.
"You can leave the bra on. For that matter you can keep the shoes
on also. That way you will be that far ahead when getting dressed
tomorrow. Don't forget to do your make-up as soon as you get up
tomorrow morning. Also there is a bottle of perfume I left on the
counter. I expect you to use it and you better use enough so I can
tell you used it. Now, good night!"
He walked out feeling sick. He couldn't believe she could be that
way. His whole world was falling apart. He wanted to die as fast as
possible. His rear was still sore and he felt like things were
completely out of control. He knew she usually got over things
pretty fast so all he had to do was ride them out. He hoped this
time too.
As soon as he laid down after putting on a nightgown he felt
sleepy. He didn't realize how tired he was. In a manner of minutes
he was sleeping.
When he woke up he thought it was all a bad dream but quickly saw
it wasn't a dream. He got up, and thought today Margaret would
surely change her mind about him wearing a dress. He did his
bathroom things, then went into the kitchen and decided to butter
Margaret up by making her breakfast. He decided to serve it to her
in bed.
He heard her stirring so he quickly got the tray ready and
hurried to the door of the bedroom. He walked in and announced that
he had made her breakfast. He set the tray down and had the look of
triumph on his face.
"The breakfast looks nice, but I told you that you had to knock
and ask permission to enter this room. Why haven't you done your
make-up yet? Are you ready to tell me you are not much of a man
and should be wearing dresses? If not, go get your make-up on and
you better do a good job on it."
"I thought maybe you changed your mind about all of this. Think
of what you are saying. You don't really expect me to tell you I
should be wearing a dress, do you?"
"You better get it through your head that you will tell me you
not only should be wearing dresses but now I want to hear you ask
me to keep you in dresses. It isn't like you never wore a dress
before is it?"
He got tears in his eyes and said, "Please I beg of you, stop
this right now. You've been after met to see a doctor so I will go
talk to a doctor, I promise."
"Now when and if you talk to a doctor you can ask for breast
implants and female hormones. Then we can get rid of those breast
forms. Now go and get your make-up on or I'll put you out the door
dressed just as you are now. Now go!"
He left the bedroom sobbing. He was putting his lipstick on and
a change came over him. He lost a lot of his fight. It was old
school days returning.
He couldn't believe what she was saying. In the bathroom he wiped
his eyes with tissue. He slowly and methodically applied make-up,
not making it a slutty as he had yesterday. He finished, then
looked closely at himself in the mirror. He thought he didn't look
bad; in fact he looked pretty nice.
He went into his bedroom and picked the purple dress with the
wide white lace trim. It was made out of nylon, and the top being
tight, it showcased his breasts. When he looked in the full length
mirror he thought he looked nice in it. Then he wondered what he
was thinking. He felt sick that he was wearing a dress.
He went and retrieved the Sunday paper from between the doors. He
started reading the paper. He half expected to see an article
telling about what was happening to him. Between sections he saw
Margaret walk through. Then he heard her on the phone. She said
loud enough for him to hear that she would see whomever she was
talking to in twenty minutes. He wondered who she had invited over
now.
She came in and told him he should scrub the kitchen floor. She
told him to go do it now. He went and did as she said. He got it
swept good and was getting the bucket full of sudsy water when
Margaret came out and told him to put away the mop and to do it on
his hands and knees. He couldn't believe she wanted him to do it
that way. She watched as he got some rags out of the closet and
started. She reminded him that he had to rinse it with clear water
after he was done scrubbing it. He was just starting the rinsing of
the floor when he heard the doorbell ring. He heard Margaret tell
someone to come in, and then silence. Then he heard Margaret say
for someone to look in the kitchen and see the new housewife.
He looked up and saw Henry Carter, his boss, standing there.
Henry had his arm around Margaret's waist. Margaret saw the shock
on his face and said, "Oh yes! Henry and I have had a thing going
since the Christmas party two years ago. You don't really expect me
to go unfulfilled, do you? He has a full-sized tool to use, not a
midget one like you have."
He thought he was going to throw up, seeing this and hearing what
she'd said. The two of them then left, and he watched as they
headed for her bedroom. He couldn't believe she could be unfaithful
to him. But she was.
He finished the floor and went back to read the paper. He felt
terrible and wondered what to do. Twenty minutes later Margaret and
Henry came back with their arms around each other. Henry said he
would see him at work tomorrow and he watched as they French kissed
at the door before he left.
"I can't believe you could be unfaithful to me. How could you do
something like that?"
"You can't satisfy my needs, so I just found others who could.
You really don't expect me to continue wanting good sex and not
getting it from you do you? Now tell me you are not much of a man
and deserve to wear dresses. Tell me you are more of a woman than
a man."
He sat mute and didn't answer her. She wasn't about to give up.
"Come on, you know you are going to tell me so why don't you tell
me now?"
"I am never going to tell you that! Get it out of your head!"
She was looking at the ads. Suddenly she said Women's World was
having a big sale on dresses and that they had to get down there.
He quickly found himself holding his purse and she was telling him
to get into the car that they were going shopping. From last night
he knew he might as well do as she said so he got into the car.
Ten minutes later they were in the store. Margaret looked for the
most fancy dresses she could find. She held three different dresses
against him and picked two. Then she found the perfect dress for
him. It was a red satin brocade dress with a side slit in the
straight skirt. She put it in the cart and then saw one she knew he
had to have. It was a green mini-dress with rhinestones trimming
it.
She had him try on all of the dresses. He complied but felt
stupid trying on dresses. They took them all. Then Margaret saw the
panties and bras on sale. She picked panties and bras that were
bright colored and lacy. Then she found a cheap woman's watch on
sale. Right there were necklaces and bracelets, and she picked some
bright gaudy ones for him.
Then she stopped at the perfume counter and told the woman she
wanted something floral and heavy. He could have sunk through the
floor when she sprayed some on him. The scent was so strong it just
about overwhelmed him. She took two bottles, as it was on sale.
Then she saw the personalized pins lying on the counter. She
picked one that said 'Tammy' and told him that now, everyone would
know his name.
They checked out and before he got in the car she pinned his name
pin on him. He looked like he had just been shot.
At home after he had put all the clothes away she told him he
should thank her for getting him all the pretty things. He gave her
a dirty look.
Margaret got up and came by him. She slapped his face as hard as
she could. He was in shock.
"You better stop giving me those dirty looks. Now you will thank
me for getting you all those pretty things or I'll slap you silly."
"Thank you for getting me all those pretty things."
"You can do better than that. Thank me properly and tell what you
like the best or you will be seeing stars."
"Thank you for all the pretty things. I love them all especially
the name pin."
"I guess that will be acceptable. Now are you ready to tell me
you are more a woman than a man."
He turned away and then sat down in the recliner. She told him to
get out of it, that she wanted to sit there. He didn't want to get
out of it but got up and went to his bedroom for some peace and
quiet.
His peace and quiet had lasted a half hour when he heard Margaret
call Tammy. He reluctantly got up and went to see what she wanted.
She told him to start supper after he redid his lipstick and used
his new perfume. He did as she said, not knowing why.
He made supper, and as they were eating Margaret told him if he'd
done what she'd asked before this, this probably wouldn't have
happened. He asked her what she was talking about.
"The first year we were married I asked you to see a doctor for
your small penis. I have constantly asked you to see a doctor but
you always rejected the idea. You would never even ask if there was
something that could help. As small as it is it might as well not
be there. For all intents and purposes now it isn't there. It came
to the point where I considered divorcing you, then Joyce gave me
an idea. It wasn't her idea but mine to do this to you because you
are more like a woman than a real man."
"I promise I will go see a doctor and see if there is something
that can be done."
"It's too late for that! You ran out of time. So now you can wear
your dresses and be like the woman you are. You can go to the
doctor and see about breast implants and female hormones now!"
"What will it take to convince you that I will change?"
"I really don't know. Sometimes I think I should divorce you,
then I think about the fact that, believe it or not, I still love
you. I am all mixed up about this. That is why I am trying this to
see if we can work something out."
He didn't know what to say to that. He was glad to hear she still
loved him but he doubted she would work things out this way. He was
depressed that he was going to be wearing dresses for who knows how
long. He thought that if she really loved him she wouldn't be doing
this to him. Then he thought about the fact she no doubt would tell
a judge he wore dresses and the judge would sympathize with her. He
hoped they could work this out but he wanted it soon. He was
depressed with the thought she had gone outside their marriage to
be satisfied and with his boss no less.
That night he went to bed dreading tomorrow and going to work
wearing a dress. He wondered if he could convince Margaret to let
him go to work wearing his regular men's clothes.
The next morning he woke up early and made noise making the
coffee. He heard Margaret stirring and soon she was in the kitchen.
"I don't want to go to work! Can't I wear what I always wore to
work? I will change as soon as I get home, I promise."
"You will wear one of your pretty dresses, Tammy. I don't want to
talk about it and it isn't up for discussion."
"What can I say to convince you?"
"You can tell me how nice they are and how you really love
wearing them. Also, I want you to mean it."
He thought for a minute then thought this was his only chance to
wear his men's clothes so he said. "I love my new clothes. They are
all so feminine. I love wearing the fancy dresses and the make-up.
Everything makes me feel sexy. ".
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then there is no problem with you wearing a dress today. You
said you love wearing them and they make you feel sexy, so go put
on a dress and your make up. You don't want to be late for work."
"You said I could wear my men's clothes if I told you that!"
"I also said I wanted you to mean it and you said you meant it so
go put on one of your dresses, NOW!"
He left dejected. She was enjoying her power and even got wet
thinking about how she had gotten him to say what he said. He was
so gullible.
He got dressed and got his make-up on. When he came out of the
bathroom Margaret was waiting for him.
"You forgot to put your perfume on like I told you, and where is
your pretty name pin? You said last night you really liked them. I
expect you wear them both always."
He did as she said. He could finally leave for work but he had a
real sense of dread. On the way to work he wondered if he shouldn't
just get a divorce. Finally he decided to try to hold off on any
divorcing and try to convince Margaret to let him get back into his
men's clothes.
He was at work five minutes when he was called into Henry's
office. Henry gave him a close look then smiled.
"You look very sexy in that dress. I have some good news and some
bad news for you. First, the bad news is that I can't have you
wandering around in your dresses so I am taking you off of your
job. Now the good news, I need a secretary so you can be my new
secretary. You know computers and Margaret tells me you can type
pretty fast, so you are now my secretary. Did she tell you she got
you a raise yesterday? She is one hot woman in bed, I'll tell you
that. There is one thing I have to see though. I want to see your
small equipment."
He was feeling no anger at Henry putting all the blame on
Margaret.
He was shocked that Henry would expect him to show him his
equipment. He knew if he didn't show him, Henry would probably fire
him. He got up and lifted his skirt and pulled down his panties.
Henry laughed and said he hadn't seen one that small since grade
school. All Toby could do is blush. Henry told him he could have
the desk outside his office and that there was a woman's toilet
down the hall. He was dismissed.
He went out and sat at the desk. There was a piece of paper lying
there with boot-up instructions for the computer. He booted it up
and was surprised to see the company's logo and a well laid out
menu on the opening screen. He saw they had the same office program
he had on the computer at home.
He sat there staring at the screen and wondering what he was
supposed to do. The door opened and Henry handed him a tape. He
found the machine to play the tape and soon was typing letters.
He finished the third letter and was looking around the office.
He saw the coffee maker and decided to make a pot. He went back to
typing and was surprised when Henry Came out and said he smelled
fresh coffee. Henry took a sip of his coffee and told Toby he was
doing an excellent job. He handed Henry the three letters he had
finished.
He had to go to the toilet and headed there. He stepped inside
and heard a woman crying in the stall. He was going to step back
outside when the stall door opened. The woman was using a tissue to
wipe her eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
The woman was sobbing yet and said between sobs, "I just broke up
with my boyfriend; or rather he broke it off with me. We have been
going together for over three years and were going to get married.
I had to have a physical and they found out I could never have any
children. His parents convinced him that he wanted children and he
broke up with me."
"Now, now, maybe it wasn't meant to be. I am sure a pretty woman
like you can find someone who doesn't care that you can't have
children. I know it looks like the end of the world but it isn't.
There are worse things that can happen."
He was holding her in his arms and she had her head on his
shoulder. She got herself under control and was wiping her eyes.
"You are so nice! Maybe we can go to lunch today? You make me
feel so much better. What do you say?"
He agreed. They arranged to meet in the hallway at noon. He went
to the toilet and redid his lipstick and took a good look at
himself. He didn't look half bad.
At noon he met her. They went to a small restaurant and were
eating their meal. The woman told him her name was Sarah and he
told her he was Tammy.
"Tammy, have you always been as caring as you were to me?"
"I can't really say, you just struck a nerve or something. Maybe
it is because my spouse is punishing me for something and I am in
a state of turmoil."
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help."
He debated whether he should tell her or not. He realized she
didn't know him and probably he would not see her again. So he
decided to tell her everything.
"Can't you tell I am really a man?"
"No, not really. I have two girlfriends who have deep voices and
there isn't anything else that tells me you are a man."
"Well, I am and I am married. My wife says my manhood is too
small and that I am more like a woman than a man. Last Saturday she
got me into a dress and now she demands I wear dresses all the
time. Sunday she had my boss over and she made love to him, telling
me he was a real man. She says I am going to wear dresses for the
foreseeable future. I think she is doing this to justify her
unfaithfulness but I'm not sure. I am starting to like the feel of
dresses sometimes, and that bothers me."
"Don't let it bother you. You are a sweet man and I know you are
a caring man. It isn't the size of his equipment or his clothes
that make a man who he is; it's what's inside. You appear to care
for your wife, or you would have been out of there and away as soon
as she put you in a dress. After we met in the bathroom I thought
about what you said, and I think you were right, that there is
someone out there who is right for me. Your problem makes mine look
pretty small right now."
"Thank you for that. I think you're right. I just don't know what
to do about it."
"I think the easiest thing is to accept it and go with the flow.
Show your wife she can do what she wants and that you don't care.
Do what she says and maybe she'll relent."
"Do you think she'll let me get back into my men's clothes then?"
"I can't really say, but I think what you really need now is
someone you can talk to so you can get over the humps."
"I don't know anyone I can talk to. I've never made any real
close friends and I never had anyone I felt relaxed telling my
personal life to."
"You just did with me. Try finding someone who understands what
you are going through and talk to them."
"You're right. I don't know exactly why I confided in you, it
just seemed the right thing to do. Can I call you if I have to talk
to someone?"
Sarah agreed and gave him her home and cell phone number. She
could tell he was a nice guy but that he had little backbone to
stand up to his wife. She felt sorry for him. They finished their
meal and headed back to work. Before they parted company she gave
him a hug and a kiss on his cheek.
He didn't know why but he walked back to the office as if he was
walking on air. Back in the office he alternated between seeing
Margaret and seeing Sarah in his mind. He thought about what Sarah
had said, and could feel that she was right.
He arrived home a completely different person than the one who
had left. Margaret arrived home shortly after he did and found him
fixing supper. He was humming a tune to himself, and she wondered
what had happened to change him.
At supper she asked how his day went. He told her about being
made Henry's secretary and how Henry had told him he had gotten a
raise. Margaret said she had gotten him the raise because when a
man is being controlled by his sexual desires he would agree to
anything. He didn't say a word about Sarah to her.
He cleaned up the supper dishes and wiped the table, then was
surprised when Margaret told him to clean the living room. He did
as she asked without any comments. Margaret was busy somewhere else
and he enjoyed the solitude. He did an excellent job of cleaning
the living room.
He was sitting relaxing and looking at the nice job he had done
when Margaret came to inspect the room. She told him he'd done an
excellent job. She told him to come by the dining room table that
she had to talk to him.
"As far as things lie right now you are not much of a husband
here. You have become something else. I do not intend for you to
lie around with nothing to do on evenings after work and on
week-ends. So I've made a list of duties for you to do each day,
and some to do once a week. Look at this and see if I missed
anything.
He looked at it and read-
Monday-Clean living room good
Tuesday- Clean my bedroom
Wednesday-Clean kitchen completely
Thursday-Clean bathrooms
Friday-clean all other areas of the house not cleaned
previously
Saturday-Do laundry-wash and iron everything
Sunday-clean all glass-doors and windows plus mow lawn
Every day-Make up my bed and every third day change bed
linens
Cook all meals and clean up after
He looked at it and wanted to laugh that she expected him to do
all the housework. She would have nothing to do.
"Well, what do you think of your list of duties?"
"What is left for you to do?"
"I will be busy being in charge. Did I miss anything you can
think of?"
"No, I can't think of anything. By the way we are almost out of
coffee."
"I did miss something. You can do all of the grocery shopping and
you can also get whatever else I might need."
"Are you going to have someone crown you queen?"
"Very funny! I have an idea. You are going to be more of a maid
around here than anything else. Maybe we should get you some maid's
uniforms to wear. Then you will look right in place. What do you
say to that?"
"I don't think that is necessary. I don't need a maid's uniform."
"I say you do. Tomorrow right after work we will go get you a
sexy maid's outfit so you can look the part."
She smiled triumphantly and watched as his face fell and he
became very sad. She knew she was in total control of him.
The next morning he drank one cup of coffee and headed out before
Margaret was up. He got to his desk and started work. Then he
remembered to make a pot of coffee. He was typing when Henry walked
through saying good morning Tammy. Later he called Sarah and asked
if she wanted to go for lunch. She agreed to meet him in the
parking lot at noon.
At noon he smiled as soon as he saw her. Soon they were seated
and eating. He showed her the list of chores and told her about the
resultant conversation with Margaret. Sarah couldn't believe
Margaret was serious about getting him a maid's uniform. He said he
believed she would just to show him she was in absolute charge.
Sarah said she really felt sorry for him. She told him he was so
nice and probably too gentle to turn Margaret down on anything.
She told him she thought he should really think about whether
their marriage was worth saving. She told him to think about what
he had told her, that there was the right person for everyone out
there, that maybe Margaret wasn't the right one for him.
He had never thought about it from that standpoint. He did think
how much he liked talking to Sarah. She was very pretty and she was
a caring person as far as he could tell. They had the most
enjoyable conversation he could ever remember having.
Back at his desk he thought about all that had been said at
lunch. He started to assess if their marriage was truly over. He
hated to admit it but he was afraid it might be. Then he thought
how Margaret had said she still had feelings for him. He remembered
their early days of married life and the good times they'd had. He
was in a quandary over what to do.
He arrived home and didn't start supper just in case Margaret was
serious about them going shopping right away. She pulled in and as
soon as she was in she said it was time to go. He got into her car.
She drove to Sandy's Uniform's and went in. Margaret spoke to the
woman there for close to ten minutes then the woman took her to the
two racks that held maid's uniforms. He stood by and didn't pay any
attention to them. When he heard Margaret call Tammy, he went in to
the two women.
The woman was holding three uniforms in one hand and a full
petticoat in the other. She led him toward the back of the store
and into a small room. She told him to get his dress and slip off,
which he did. She helped him get the petticoat on and then the
uniform. He thought it was way too short but she told him it was a
French maid's uniform and was supposed to be that way. She told him
to go out so his wife could see him. He now knew Margaret had told
her he was a man.
"I don't suppose you get many men in here for maid's uniforms."
"We get more than you would ever imagine. It is not uncommon at
all."
He stepped out and immediately heard Margaret laugh out loud.
"You do look so sweet in that uniform. It looks like it was made
especially for you. We'll take it."
The lady said, "The way this one fits, the others will fit the
same. Do you want them all?"
"Yes, maybe he should have three black and also the pink one."
"Do you want matching aprons for them?"
"Yes, I think that would be nice."
"Step over here and look at all the different styles we have."
Margaret looked at all the different patterns and picked two that
had black lace heart shaped pockets and one that had a little lace
trimmed teddy bear pocket. Then she saw just the one for the pink
uniform. It was pink with a lot of lace and a white lace trimmed
rose for a pocket.
Margaret said he could leave the uniform on, and then he wouldn't
have to change when he got home. She made sure the lady heard that
he could get right to work when they got home.
He was glad to get out of there, and when Margaret turned the
opposite way from going home he wondered where she was going next.
She parked in front of Maggie's Specialty shoes and he wondered
what was up. Margaret led him in and talked to the saleslady for
about two minutes. Then the saleslady disappeared. He looked at
some jeweled sandals and liked how they looked. He told Margaret he
thought they looked nice, and she asked him if he wanted a pair. He
said he didn't really care, he just thought they looked nice.
Margaret said they would get him a pair. She grabbed a pair in his
size.
The saleslady came back with three shoeboxes and set them down on
the floor. Margaret handed her the box with the sandals and told
her to try them on him first. He walked around in them and they
were very comfortable. He sat back down and the saleslady removed
them then took a pair of heels out of the top box. He saw they were
black patent leather. She slid them onto his feet and fastened the
ankle strap, then told him to walk around to see how they felt. He
stood up and just about fell over. He wasn't used to wearing five
inch heels. He took very short steps and did manage to walk around
a bit. He said they were very uncomfortable, but Margaret said he
just had to get used to them. The next pair was pink patent leather
and also had five inch heels. When he tried to walk in them he said
he would never be able to.
When she took the next pair out of the box he saw it was another
pair of pink patent leather pumps with a wider ankle strap. She got
them on him and when he stood up he could only shuffle his feet. It
was as if he was walking on tip toe. The saleslady said that was
common, walking in six-inch heels.
Margaret told her to put the black ones back on him, that he
would wear them home. He couldn't believe she was going to buy them
and make him wear them. He carefully walked behind her and was
shocked when she turned and led him into the store next door. She
told the clerk she had placed a special order and they'd said it
would be ready now. She gave the clerk her name. The clerk looked
at some boxes under the counter and came up with two boxes. She
opened one and showed it to her. Margaret said it was perfect. She
paid the clerk and then took the box and removed the item. She told
Tammy to stand still while she attached his pin.
He looked down at it, and couldn't believe she would do something
like this. The pin read 'Sissy male maid- Tammy'. He blushed the
deepest he had since all of this had started. The letters of the
pin were an inch high, decorated in false jewels and visible a good
distance away.
She led him back to the car. His legs were already getting sore
from the new heel height. He felt a sense of relief being able to
sit down. He wondered what was in the other box she had gotten. He
knew it was nothing good for him.
He was surprised when she pulled into a restaurant parking lot
and parked the car. He said he wasn't hungry but she said he was
either going to come in with her or start walking home. He went in
with her.
When the hostess was seating them Margaret told her she was
treating her maid to supper. The hostess smiled and when she saw
the pin on his chest she called him dearie.
After they ate and got home she told him he better get started on
her bedroom. He was glad to get out of her company. He didn't think
he would be able to walk in these heels but did manage to make
progress. He got her room done faster than he thought he would. She
checked it and declared it to be all right.
She told him to get his underwear out of his old dresser in her
room. He got it and she told him to put the under shorts in the
garbage, then instructed him to cut up the tee shirts for rags. He
had tears in his eyes as he did it. By the time he finished he was
tired and wanted to go to bed. Margaret had him get her a snack
before he could go to bed.
Then she wanted him to thank her for getting him all the nice
pretty things. He didn't argue and just thanked her. He thought he
would be able to leave but she told him to wait in the living room
for her.
She came back with a camera and started taking pictures of him.
She told him how to pose and snapped a dozen pictures then got an
idea. She told him to curtsy so she could get a picture of him. He
tried but couldn't balance himself very well and it wasn't a good
curtsy. She told him to keep trying until he got it right. He
started to get cramps I his legs. Finally she said he was never
going to get it unless he practiced, She told him she wanted him to
curtsy every time he entered a room she was in and to curtsy before
leaving her presence.. She told him he could go to bed.
He went in his bedroom and the first thing he wanted to do was
get the damn heels off. They were locked on his feet so he had to
go back to Margaret to have her unlock them. She had a smirk on her
face as she unlocked them.
He wondered why she had to have pictures of him then thought she
probably just did it to make him feel humiliated more.
Finally, in bed he felt relieved. He noticed the softness of the
nightgown and enjoyed the feel. He fell asleep immediately. He had
a dream that woke him up in the middle of the night. He was fully
awake remembering the dream. In it Sarah was wearing a wedding
dress and when he looked, he was the groom. He smiled, and thought
it wasn't possible. She would never marry someone like him.
The next day at noon he told Sarah everything that had happened
to him the evening before. She sympathized with him and told him he
was way too easy, doing everything Margaret told him. She said
Margaret was going out of her way to humiliate him. He told her he
knew that, but now he wanted to see what she would do when she ran
out of ideas of new ways to try to humiliate him.
When they got back they were walking into the building and
suddenly Sarah turned and gave him a hard hug then kissed him on
his lips. He saw lightning bolts and felt a feeling he had never
felt before. Sarah said she'd never kissed anyone wearing lipstick
before but it wasn't bad at all. He wanted to grab her and return
her kiss, but didn't do it. They agreed to meet for lunch tomorrow.
That night he did the kitchen. He looked at the floor and saw it
still was shiny, so he didn't scrub it. Margaret looked at it and
said it looked very nice. Then she told him there were three empty
boxes in garage and to get them. He got them and she told him to go
into her bedroom and put all of his slacks and shirts in them so
she could drop them off at the thrift shop. She had him put the
boxes in her car and then he wanted to take a bath. She told him
his curtsies were better and that she wanted to get a picture of
him curtsying. After six curtsies she had two pictures of him
curtsying. She unlocked his heels and soon he was enjoying a warm
bath.
The next day at noon he and Sarah discussed his options. He said
he would make a solid decision this week-end. He said he thought
Margaret was running out of ideas and he was looking forward to
seeing her melt-down. Sarah told him he was too easy on her, that
he should think about fighting back more. He told her he'd never
done anything bad to Margaret and he wasn't about to start now.
That night he cleaned the bathrooms. Margaret was busy and he was
surprised to see her enter his bedroom. He wondered what she was
going to do in there. He finished the bathrooms and was proud of
how they were sparkling clean.
Before he went to bed Margaret told him to change into a regular
dress tomorrow after work, not the fancy ones he had been wearing.
He wondered what she was going to do but dismissed anything
fantastic.
Friday noon he told Sarah he thought Margaret had run out of
ideas about new ways to humiliate him. He told her Margaret hadn't
taken any pictures of him at all last night. He told her he didn't
know what he would do without her. She told him she still thought
he was way too easy on Margaret, about not fighting her more. He
reminded her he was going to make a decision this week-end one way
or the other. He told her he'd never made any fast decisions and
that he took pride in everything he done.
He arrived home and decided to wear the yellow dress with his new
jeweled sandals. When Margaret saw him she told him he looked so
feminine in that outfit. She asked him to tell her he was more of
a woman than a man and should be wearing dresses all the time. She
told him he was going to tell her that sooner or later, so he might
as well tell her now. He thought for a moment, then said the words
she wanted to hear. She looked like she had just won a million
dollars. She told him to sit down at the table that she had a
surprise for him.
He was surprised when she replaced the bottom studs in his ears
with a pair of dangly earrings. He could hear the sound of a
small wind chime they made every time he moved his head. Then she
told him she had one more surprise for him. She replaced his Tammy
name pin with a new one. This one read in inch high letters 'Sissy
she-male Tammy'.
She told him to grab his purse that they had to go. He got into
the car with no idea where they were going. When she pulled onto
the interstate he started wondering where they were going. An hour
later she pulled off and drove like she knew exactly where they
were going.
She made several turns and soon pulled into a driveway. He had no
idea where they were. She told him to come along, so he followed
her up the sidewalk and to the door. When the door opened his heart
sunk. He saw Joyce standing there smiling. He immediately knew this
wasn't going to be good.
They went inside and soon were sitting talking like old friends.
He didn't say anything and after a little bit didn't really listen
to Margaret and Joyce's conversation. He saw Margaret hand Joyce
some pictures and then heard Joyce laugh out loud a few times. He
knew they were the pictures of him.
Then he heard Margaret calling him. He came back from his
daydreaming. She handed him the car keys and told him to get the
bags out of the trunk and the garment bags out of the back of the
car. He had never noticed the garment bags in back.
Joyce showed Margaret the bedroom where she would be sleeping. He
was surprised when she said he would be sleeping in the basement.
Margaret handed him a garment bag and told him to go change.
He went into the bathroom and when he opened the garment bag he
was shocked to see one of his black maid's uniforms there. She had
even put the black heels he had to wear with it in there. He got
it on and went back to the living room.
Margaret chided him for not curtsying when he entered and made
him curtsy to her and to Joyce. Margaret said she was sure Joyce
had something for him to do. Joyce said he could scrub the kitchen
floor. She showed him where everything was and before he started he
had curtsied to her seven times.
He did the floor and when it was done it looked better than when
it was new. Joyce was impressed and told him so. She told him if he
ever needed a job she would hire him.
Margaret unlocked his heels and Joyce took him to the basement
and showed him a small room where there was an air mattress and a
small blanket. He got undressed and put on the nightgown Margaret
had given him.
The next morning he put the uniform back on. He was sure the
women were going to have him doing something. He went upstairs and
the two women were already up. Margaret told him to come with her
and led him to her bedroom. She had him change into the green
minidress and told him he could wear his jeweled sandals.
He felt like singing until he got out where the two women were
and Margaret pinned his name pin on him. Joyce chuckled when she
saw him. Joyce said they could go shopping this morning but had to
be back by early afternoon to get ready for the party tonight.
Margaret handed him his purse and the next thing he knew they
were shopping at the town mall. In a dress shop he saw a nice
pretty dotted dress trimmed with satin bows. Margaret saw him
looking at it and told him if he wanted it to get it. He was
superbly happy until he heard Joyce laugh out loud.
They returned back, and Margaret told him Joyce said the guests
would be arriving in about an hour. She told him his party dress
was lying on her bed. He went in and saw the red brocade dress
lying there. He liked that dress and quickly had it on with its
matching heels. It was tight on him but he didn't care.
Joyce told him he looked like a beautiful pansy in it. Margaret
told him to go put his name pin on, and that his perfume was on the
dresser and to use a lot. He went and did as she said.
When he came back out Dirk was there, having just gotten back
from an out of town trip. Dirk said he smelled just like the fairy
he was. The doorbell rang and it was Yvonne, who was Joyce's
closest friend in high school. She introduced her husband and
laughed out loud when she was introduced to Tammy who Joyce said
she should remember from high school as Toby. She said she saw he
was still in dresses.
Over the next half hour some more guests arrived. They were all
people who had known him in high school. Even Greta, who he had a
crush on in high school, was there. He felt like crying it was so
traumatic for him.
Last to arrive was what Joyce said was a special guest. He just
about fainted when he saw it was his mother. She said she'd always
thought he liked wearing dresses more than he let on. She said he
looked just like the wimp he was. He could have died, and it would
have been a blessing.
Joyce loudly said the server had just called and said she
couldn't make it. He couldn't believe it when Margaret said he
could be the server. She told him to come with her and when they
were in her bedroom she produced his pink maid's uniform and told
him to get it on. She knelt down and put his pink heels on him and
locked the wide collar.
He could hardly walk in the heels and couldn't believe what a
difference a one inch higher heel could make. Everyone laughed when
they saw him. His mother exclaimed for everyone to look at his
fuck-me heels. Margaret told him he better start curtsying and keep
curtsying. He curtsied and Joyce showed him all that had to be
served.
He was going steady for over an hour before they were done
eating. Joyce told him to clean up the mess if he knew what was
good for him and to get it done fast. He picked up the dishes and
started to fill the dishwasher. He got it full and started. He
piled the rest of the dirty dishes on the counter above the
dishwasher.
Joyce and Margaret came out and Joyce told him he could hand wash
the remaining dishes. He turned and started the water running.
Margaret told him he forgot to curtsy to Joyce. He shot her a quick
curtsy.
He finished the dishes and went and told Margaret he was ready to
go to bed, that he was tired. He asked her to unlock his heels.
Margaret asked Joyce if there was anything else she wanted him to
do. Joyce said there were three trays of desserts to be
distributed. He found himself walking around carrying a tray with
little treats on them.
When he got by his mother she asked him why she had never heard
from him since the day he moved away. She asked why he hadn't even
invited her to his wedding. He felt mean now so he told her he
figured she hated him so he just let her stay where she was.
He was surprised when she started crying. She told him she was
sorry for all the hurt she had caused. He knew she meant it and
felt bad about his remarks to her. Everyone else had derogatory
remarks that they made to him. He felt he could have hurt every one
of then and not felt bad about it. She saw Margaret showing Greta
the pictures of him.
He got all three trays emptied and asked Joyce if that was all.
Joyce told him that was it and dismissed him. He had Margaret
unlock his heels. He went down to the basement and even with the
noise from up above was soon asleep.
Upstairs it was getting interesting; Joyce was telling some of
the guests how they came upon Toby last week-end and all about how
she helped Margaret get him in a dress. She laughed as she told the
story.
Greta was listening, and as soon as Joyce finished her story she
said, "I thought you'd grown up, but you are still mentally in high
school. Do you realize you've probably ruined his life and his
marriage? If I had known this party was to humiliate him then I
wouldn't have come. You are still emotionally a teen-ager. I
thought it was funny the first time in high school but after that
I felt sorry for him. Where is he? I want to talk to him!"
Joyce said he was in the basement. Greta said she probably had
him locked in a cage or something. His mother, hearing the whole
thing asked Joyce to go get him. Joyce said she would be right back
with him.
Downstairs she had a very hard time waking him. When she said
some of the people upstairs wanted to talk to him he answered that
he had heard enough bad comments for one night. He refused to go
back upstairs. Finally Joyce left him to sleep.
Upstairs she told them he was sleeping and all he wanted to do
was sleep. His mother now said to the group, "My husband was a real
mean man and I vowed my son would not be mean, I raised him to be
gentle, as gentle and soft as I could make him. Now, I think I made
a mistake. When you girls brought over those dresses I thought this
was the perfect way to make him gentle, as gentle as a girl is
supposed to be. I never thought it was to humiliate him as much as
possible.
