The Meadow 175 Girlhood Eulogy Danielle Shorr I stopped playing with dolls long before I stopped wanting to one day it was Barbie and the next it was something grown a padded bra or a thong with a metal charm, drugstore makeup I didn’t know how to put on correctly my bedroom full of stuffed animals, my jeans saying otherwise I couldn’t tell you what age stopped me from being a girl or when woman became, just that it happened and I don’t remember when I wanted to be sexy before I knew what sex was I couldn’t tell you when I actually learned, just that it happened before I could swallow pills I wanted to love the color pink so I chose blue instead I wanted to play with Barbies so I stayed out all night with men I called boys
