8. Hairy Situation

When I was in 4th or 5th grade kids started making fun on my dark arm and leg hair.  I'd been begging my mom to let me start shaving, and she said I wasn't old enough.  Jessica was already shaving.  So I took her razor, and gave my legs a dry shave, secretly.  My mom didn't inspect my legs, so I'm not sure when she figured it out.  People always cringe about a dry shave, but I don't remember it being problematic.

I always hated how hairy my arms were.  I shaved them off and on, but no one else I knew did that, so at some point I stopped.  Then in high school I found out my friend's mom shaved her arms.  Taking that to mean it was not weird, I've been doing it ever since.
