The year was 1965 and the Vietnam War was heating up, In November of 1964 was the very first engagement where the United State army and the Vietnam army fought in the Vietnam highlands. Mothers from all over this country of ours were trying their hardest to keep their sons out of it and the draft. Even grandmothers who remembered the Korean conflict of 1950’s they too did not want to see another son or grandson go fight another policing action that one not seeing any gain for what this county stood for. The call went out to every mom, aunt grandmother sister you name her and she was their fighting to save their sons, bother cousin nephew’s life and keep them out of the Vietnam War.
Thelma Fisher was one of these women that remembered all too well the Korean conflict for in 1953 she lost her husband Robert Fisher leaving her with one boy named Bruce who is now ten years old. Now Thelma Fisher remarried a young man named Rodger Carr who gave her a son name David age seven. Bruce was given the choice to keep his fathers ‘name or change it to his stepdad’s name Carr, he choose to keep Fisher. Now this story is a mother’s fight for her sons’ life and to keep him out of harm’s way.
Thelma’s mother Darleen Dixon, “Well honey I knew lady back during the Korean War that raised her youngest son as a girl making him dress as a girl and even home school him. At first the boy hated it then again by the time the boy was drafted the US army turned him down having a stands on effeminate men and the wearing of women’s clothing. Ending up saving the boys’ life for all the boys that were drafted with him died not three months after their enlistment”, Thelma with a slight laugh, “Mother I really do not want Bruce gaining a reputation of that kind if I have any say in this myself”. Darleen signed, “Well suit yourself but, don’t come crying to me when and if Bruce gets killed in the line of duty for I have warned you as a good mother should.” The other women there giggled hoping they would be seeing Bruce in petty dresses and undies.
The PTA meeting had three women speakers and all three have lost a son in a war or more. They were encouraging all mothers, Grandmothers and Aunts to start dressing their boy who will in just a few short, years will be drafted to fight in some policing action like Korean War. Showing all the advantages of having their sons dress in girls’ clothing, now more so Thelma’s mind kept going back to the loose of her first husband and the realities’ of losing her first son to another war like his father.
Thelma one evening having coffee with Rodger, “Honey you know I lost my first husband in the Korean War. There has been a great deal of talk concerning dressing our boys as girls and home school them so they won’t be drafted ending up dying in some war that has nothing to do with us. Please honey what should I do really I need your help.” Rodger, folding his evening paper and laying it to one side, “Well Thelma I was lucky they found a heart murmur and I was disqualified for active duty becoming 4F. It would make sense if you did it to one boy you would have to do it to both. Now to be perfectly honest with you Thelma I don’t think I could stand you doing it to either of the boys. Yet like you I don’t want my boys to die in a war any more than you do.” Setting there rubbing his chin deep in thought.
Thelma handed him the flyers, “Please read them, and tell me what you think and would like us or me to do”. Shaking his head smiling, “I’ll have your answer in a half an hour.” Thelma smiled turning and walking out to the kitchen to finish her dishes from supper. Thelma had just finished her supper dishes when Rodger entered the kitchen taking his seat at the table laying out the flyers before him. “Have a seat Thelma I have your answer.” Thelma sat down at the table placing her hand folded on the table and a small smile on her face.
“Well Thelma it is like this-I see it as a bunch of hooey, just a bunch of women flapping their jaws like chickens in a barn yard over nothing. Now Bruce is your son from your first marriage and how you decide to deal with him is your business and as far as David goes no blasted way-for he is my son and I will take my chances and hope for the best and I strongly recommend the same for Bruce. Now should you decide to go on with this nonsense please take it someplace else for I do love you Thelma and I love Bruce just as much as I love any of you. There you have my answer and I hope it helps you for like I just said I do love you and the boys more than anything else in this world.” Kissing her laughing, “Now how about some of your coffee”, Opening his evening paper and continuing to read it.
It was at work two military officers had brought in some drawings and asked if it would be possible for them to do the drafting offering big, big bucks for the work to get done. Rodger was working on one of the blue prints when this officer a Crenel Parker with a smile, “Rodger do you have any kids?” making small talk, “Yes, two boys Bruce and David Bruce is ten and David is seven”, starting to laugh. Crenel, “It is great to see fathers who not only love their sons but enjoy them as well.” Well Crenel I am laughing at what my wife Thelma was talking about last night. The foolish thing imaginable, “laughing, “Her had some of the other moms tell her she should dress my boys as girls and home school them and that way they won’t get killed in some dumb policing action.” laughing. “Excuse me Rodger, those ladies are not just cackling like chickens in a barn yard-it is a fact.
Hay if you really want your boys to have any kind of a chance, please do, as your sweat wife has asked of you. I shouldn’t say this yet the boys in Washington are planning on drafting at least thirty thousand more boys just to through at the enemy and to my way of thinking it is damn wrong and sorry about the cursing. Hay, Rodger please do as your lovely wife is asking for your boys sake if for nothing else-please?” tears now were streaming down his face as he turned to walk away. It was after the officers left that Rodger found out Crenel Parker lost all his sons in these policing actions leaving him just his two daughters.
Rodger had no sooner entered the house, “Thelma I need to speak with you Honey.” Thelma all smiles loving her husband wanting her attention, “Yes honey” setting in her chair. “I was wrong last night-those ladies are not just running their mouths. Honey, they know what the heck they are talking about! Please honey start our boys in dresses and home school them as soon as you can for a full bird Crenel showed me all of this with tears in his eyes for he lost both of his boys do to the policing actions of this government of ours. ” Tears running like someone had just turned on the water starting to shake with shame and fear holding on to Thelma sobbing.
Thelma’s heart broke seeing her husband crying so heard he shook, now crying herself, Honey I will start this afternoon after the boys get home from school.” The two of them holding each other up from falling in a heap of blubbering mass. Rodger went and got his two boys registered for home schooling and receiving their books and lessons while Thelma called the phone number on the flyer and within an hour she had a full wardrobe of girl’s clothing for both boys including shoes and hair ribbons. Thelma grinning, “Sorry honey for laughing, just I never imagined us getting dresses, skirts and blouses with panties and petticoats for Bruce and David.” Starting them both to laughing unable to believe what they were about to do.
Bruce and his little brother David entered the house laughing and seeing their parents, “Dad, Mom we don’t have to go to school ever again for the school took all our school books away sending us home early-can you beat that? Huh?” exclaimed Bruce laughing. David eyes all sparkling, “Boy what a spot of luck for me-I never studied for the history test tomorrow, and now I have no more school to go to. Ain’t that so neat Jess lady luck is on our side big time!” now both boys dancing around laughing and having a grand time.
Thelma with a grin on her face, “Oh lady luck did more for you two boys than just get you two out of going to school: she also got the both of you out of being boys.” The room was dead silent like the two boys were frozen in time and space with blank stars on their faces. Bruce with a look of disbelief, “Out of being boys what do you mean by that mom?” Thelma, “David and you are going to be our little girls starting tonight or right now”. Both of the boys started laughing thinking it was a joke until Rodger spoke up, “Your mother is not joking and neither am I, so please do as your mom ask and we will explain the whole thing later to the both of you.” David, “Can anybody kill lady luck Mom, dad?” Thelma grinned, “Nope, she is invincible sorry.” Both boys laughing, “Well it is going to be some time you guys still have to get the money and buy the girl’s clothes and by that time you both will have changed your minds.” as Bruce and David stood there all smiles.
Thelma with a large smile on her face, “Then please follows my boys for we have a surprise for you boys to be girls.” now leading them to their own bedrooms. Pointing towards their closets, “look for your selves!” watching their boys opening the closets with a scream. Thelma, “Now please remove all your boys clothing and give them to your father please”. Bruce eyes wide with disbelief David, “Mommy you are not really going to make as dress as girls are you?” Honey please just do as I ask and your father and I will explain everything then-promise.” Fighting back her own tears feeling a bit a shame of herself as so did their father.
Thelma handed each of the boys a pair of the satin pink panties, “Please put them on for me”. There was a bit of fussing yet the boy pulled the panties on now crying. She gave them each white full slips and helped them put them on their hems falling just below their knees. David now looking for help from his father, “Daddy please do, make us do this-please?” Rodger, “Sorry guys”, turning and walking out of the boys’ bedroom hearing them both pleading for his help and within minutes both boys were wearing jumpers.
Thelma, “These are your school uniforms and you will wear them every day while you are being home schooled. Now there are some skirts and blouses with half -slips you both can wear to play in or help me do work around the house. “Bruce eyes sad, “Mommy will we ever get to wear boy’s clothes again?” Thelma with a smile, “Yes after you have turned eighteen and you have been rejected by the military from active duty for your father and I want you two boys to be able to live and raise a family not lie dead in some grave yard with an American flag waving over you tombs” Over the next week Bruce and his little brother David grow in understanding also started to enjoy dressing as girls.
