Drabble Theatre: Mother knows best

“Gynecomastia can be eliminated!”
A play on an add i see here which just doesn't seem to belong.

“Gynecomastia can be eliminated!” the poster said.

I trembled as mom led me inside.

God no, don’t let them do this. I’ve worked so hard to get these, please don’t let them take them away. They are mine! Mine!!! They had cost me a small fortune in hormones and years to grow... They weren’t much, but they were mine!

What I felt wasn’t real she said. I was misguided she said. Mother always knows best. Heh.. yeah right. I wish she never walked in on me.

Mom let go of me for a second to open the door

I ran.

Kudos

i feel so irrated

That mother doesnt know best. She is trying to take away his femininity that he desires so much. SHe doesnt understand her daughters feelings and she istotally discounting what her daughter is telling her. In the comming years when she goes though transition under a doctors care, she will realize then. BUt i fear her mother will disown her then as so many others with unfit and unloving parents do :(

Fit and Loving Parents

can sometimes be so misunderstanding that they do the same thing (disown) as well.

Run, kid!

But to where? How does a teenager find any leverage in a situation involving her own body?
I don't think I've ever wanted a sequel to a drabble before, but I'd love to see this
come to some happy resolution...

And while the advertisement might seem strange to find on this site,
there are transgender people who would LOVE to have their gynecomastia eliminated.
And all the rest of those depressingly gyneco features that their being born female stuck them with.

WAIT! I KNOW ......... AT THE LAST MINUTE, IN THE HOSPITAL, JUST WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST
OUR HEROINE TRADES PLACES, CHARTS AND WRIST TAGS WITH AN FTM WHOSE MOTHER
IS FORCING HIM TO GET A BOOB JOB (sound of both moms fainting, hitting the floor...)

No, close but not quite

Drug mom, swap bracelet and she gets boobs hacked off.

As she wakes up in sleazy, no questions asked clinic, a cop about to arrest her, she gets phone call from son, in protective custody.

"Does it hurt, Mother dear? Good."

Poetic justice.

P.S. Jeese am I bitchy tonight!

P.P.S. Mayeb it's all a misunderstanding and just a test to see the kid is serious and Mom will do as he wishes?

Keep Writing These

Great drabbling (can you use drabble as a verb?). The comments from Laika and John are worth the price of admission on their own,
