Well I guess we should start with a little background. My name is John Wells, I have a twin sister Jennifer Wells and we live with our Mom Jill. My mom was only 16 years old when she had my sister and I and I found out later we were actually triplets. Now at the time we were born being as my mom was so young my Grandma really raised us and her name was Janet, yes if you haven’t figured it out my family likes names that start with the letter J. Now being triplets we were born 5 weeks early so we all stayed in the hospital for a couple weeks which was very expensive. Now we had always thought our other twin had died but we found out later that Grandma had given her up, seems with all the teen pregnancies they had passed a law where you could take an unwanted baby to any fire or police station and drop them off no questions asked and that is what Grandma did. Her name was Julie and she had lots of health issues and Grandma and my mom knew they would never be able to take care of her especially with my sister and me so they gave her up.
Now my sister and I were both healthy happy kids growing up but as a result of our being born early I am assuming we both never got really big. My sister is 5’1 and I only got to 5’2 and we both weight right around 105 lbs. now for a girl this is not that bad but for a boy growing up it is terrible. Even today at 17 I look like I am a 6th grader which made it hard to fit in so I tried everything including growing my brown hair long and wearing it in a ponytail to try to be cool, well I actually had another reason also that I kept to myself. Growing up in a family with 3 women can be tough and as a result I found myself fascinated by the cute dresses and the makeup they wore.
As I said my grandma raised us till we were 10 when she died in a car wreck and my mom till this point was more like a big sister. Mom finished high school and then went to college seems after she had us and became a mom she really settled down and put effort into her studies and earned a batcher degree in business. Now mom was beautiful with long blonde hair and looked like a model and was also very smart. Mom got a really good job with a cosmetic company in New York and made good money and after Grandma died she stepped up and took over raising us. I think it was when we turned 12 my mom started letting my sister Jennifer use makeup and that is when I realized I was really different. Don’t get me wrong my mom loved me but she would do all the mother daughter things with Jennifer including getting their hair and nails done, Jennifer also now had blonde hair and her and mom looked more like sisters then mother daughter.
I was about 13 the first time I tried on one of my sister’s dresses and played with some of her makeup and found I really liked it. Now as I said being a small boy is hard but for a girl it is a good thing and with my long hair I could take it out of the ponytail and I actually made a fairly pretty girl. Now my school schedule was pretty good as on Tuesdays I would only do a half so I was done by 11 the other half was for study hall but we could leave and go home if we wanted which I did. Jenifer’s half day was Wednesday and what was even better is she was active in drama so on Tuesdays and Thursdays she would stay after school for rehearsal till 4 so it was about 4:30 or so when she got home and mom would get home a little after 5 so I had a few hours to myself so Tuesdays became my day to dress up and be a girl for a while. I did this all through the school year and loved it the only bad part was summer vacation as I would not get the chance to dress.
