I was just listening to a collection of songs I liked as a kid, and on came a song with a decidedly different sound, and I recognized it as from a later period in my life than childhood. It was not yer regular 70's song, or bare rock number of the early 80's nooo.... it was a new wave song, and a sound that to me is congruous with that wonderful, terrifying and exciting blooming of awakening we call puperty. This particular song was "If I Was" by Midge Ure...
I have a newly 3 year old daughter who as long as she was about 1.5 yrs old started showing unusual signs of puberty. At this tender age I noticed that in the summer she was sweating. Not just getting sweaty, but having the adult like 'smell' associated with it. I had just recently moved and started seeing a new doctor with her, and mentioned this on our 1st visit. The doctor told me it was fine, just put deoderant on her. So I did.
