**BTW That Janis Ian song is one the best little songs ever written. A haunting and beautiful story of what a plain girl went through in those times.**
Both my wife and I were late bloomers, and felt somewhat left out during the high school years. We had friends. We just weren’t maturing physically as fast as most kids our age. We both were tall (she 5’7”, me 6’2”), but very skinny. We both filled out after high school. I’m 3 yrs older, and probably didn’t look my age until I was 22. My wife started turning heads at 19. Then her dental braces came off. I fortunately met her not long after, and managed to win her heart. Married 41 1/2 yrs now, and at 63 she is still a looker imo.
there ya go nicely done. Me too.
