Just listened to your wonderful interview on Saturday’s This American Life. I will be posting to the Dot Girl Facebook page today. Best of luck as you help Sophie navigate puberty and periods.

The link on your web page is broken. I found the video on Youtube. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHZEOweeoaE (part 1) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD-TG5_uF18 (part 2). I loved your interview on “This American Life”. As bad as the videos are, someone tried very hard to explain something very important.

Right here with you – only the other sex. C is proud of his 12 or so pubic hairs sprouted this summer, but all I can think about is how we are going to explain certain other realities of adolescent boyhood. Let me know if you hear anything worthwhile about THAT.

You can’t believe how relieved I am to know that I am not the only person who viewed that film clip at the “showing” of a yukking crowd. A former roommate owned the movie and while I don’t remember laughing, per se, I do remember gawking and thinking the video was “so weird.” I have felt guilty about that for 6+ years. Also…I still can’t believe you have never gone to any support groups. I must be a joiner!!! And…full report, please!
