When I told a workmate that “if 40 is the new 20, then I’m 12″ he corrected me that really I’d be 16, since in order to keep the ratio you’d be dividing by 2 instead of subtracting 20. It’s too bad, because I liked the sound of 12 better. I was less miserable at 12 than I was at 16, even though I had no breasts.
I yearned for breasts when I was a preteen. The way breasts grow on a girl from flat to ka-boing is a long and slow process taking several years, and the interim tadboobs are pretty ridiculous looking. They don’t hang like a teardrop, they just stick out straight, as if you stuck two cotton balls down your shirt. Which I did once, but it didn’t really help my overall appearance.
I wish having boobs made me as happy as I thought they would at 12. But, like everything else, they lost their novelty value after a couple decades. Thankfully others’ boobs are still awesome and new, because they’re all different, and some are HUGE.
I’m 32 on this uneventful day. At least my age is still less than my bra size.
happy happy birthday! 32 is the new black. er.
right. boobs.
Grats. Way to go till 65. Years.
Hmmm. Boys have a size-age-thingy, too?
happy birthday! i’ll give you your 32 smacks on NYE.
Happy Birthday Gillian!
Happy Birthday to you!
happy birthday!
you know, I had a few years of “omg, Donna has tits!” …because when I was 10-11ish, they were bigger than most other girls.
Except… then they stopped. For good. And haven’t gotten any bigger since I was 11. And what counts as “big tits” at 11 does NOT translate into adulthood.
Fuck me. Stupid tits.
Happy Birthday Gillian. In nine days I too will be turning 32. I am quite certain I am more interested in breasts now than I was at the age of 12. But I was rather ignorant of the whole subject 20 years ago. Well, more ignorant than I am now.
Happy Birthday Gillian.
Happy boobday!
Happy 32! We are now the same age – for the next 26 days.
Hope you are doing some fun for the big day!
Happy birthday to, uh, your whole body.
Happy Birthday! Is it wrong that I know more about the development of your breasts than I do about the Magna Carta? I mean, it’s not like they’re likely to come up in a game of Trivial Pursuit (unless we were playing Strip Trivial Pursuit).
@Donna Thanks for sharing, since you were the only one to. My sympathies for your stunted cleavage (Nick doesn’t seem to mind, though).
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.
Happy belated birthday from Paris!
You can have my boobs if you want, as a present.
Happy birthday, G.
I think there’s the idea for a line of birthday cards here.

Happy Breastday, maybe?
