I have been pestered for a while to write an account of my early years in nursing or more accurately being stripped. My father wrote an account of these so I want to start a little further back.
When I was eight one night before Christmas my mum was going out with aunty Kath and the girls from work. As usual on these nights we got to stay up later than normal and have a treat we where not normally allowed. Dad was in charge. He put us both to bed but I could not sleep waiting to hear mum coming home. I heard the sound of the coach at the end of our road and rose from bed to look out of the window. The bus fell silent then I heard the sound of two woman in heels running down the road. Well I could not believe my eight year old eyes as my mum and Kath came into view. I really mean that. I thought I was dreaming put realised I was not. The story of the king and his new clothes popped into my head I remember that but quite why I could not say then or now. Mum and Kath where completely naked accept for heels and self-support stockings in aunty Kath’s case and stockings and suspender belt in mum’s. The sheer black nylon and black leather shoes with their uncovered black thick bushes stood out in the ghostly white street lighting. Mum pounded at the door and I heard dad switch on his bedroom light. I darted back to bed and pulled the covers over myself. The room light beamed out into the landing then the landing light stitched on. Dad descended the stairs saying "Coming, coming. Hold your horses”.
I sat up to listen. “Bloody hell!” Dad said as he opened the door and saw the sight. I could hear mum and Kath entering mum saying, “George don’t look Kath’s naked”. and Kath saying, “I think he can see that”. “Get us a robe or something and shut the door”. I heard Dad coming back up the stairs. Mum must have went in the room and switched on the light.
‘Dam the curtains are open” she said. Dad, went into their bedroom and I was dying to look but knew I would be caught. At that I heard aunt Kath say. “I need the loo” and start up the stairs. Mum shouted up, “George stay there Kath’s coming up”. I then saw Kath walk naked past the door jam (hinged side). Mum then followed her up and I saw her naked passing by the door too. He went and got the robe’s and took one to Kath.
I told Katelynn what I saw the next day and she didn’t believe me. It was not until I was about to start as a cadet that mum one day told me about initiations. When she finished I said. “Was that what you and aunt Kath where doing that night you came home naked” her face was a picture.
Our household was very lax about nudity. I often saw mum and dad around naked and they me. Even when I developed I didn’t mind being seen. I didn’t go out of my way to be seen but wasn’t all hung up if I was.
When I was twelve I was at guides camp. We where all tucked up in sleeping bags one night talking about boys. How far we’d gone with them and how far they had gone with us. Quite innocent stuff like holding hands, kisses on the cheek and that sort of thing. A few of the older girls talked about boys touching them in places but I was sure that sort of thing didn’t happen and I wasn’t ever going to let any boy with dirty hands touch me in such places. I get my clean clothes dirty. Ah, the innocent of youth. I’d had the birds and bees from mum and dad and various family friends but it was still just birds and bees. Sex was what mummies and daddies did to make me and my sister. One girl asked if anyone had seen a boys wily. I said I had. Not a brother or father but another boys wily she said. I said I’d seen the boy’s down the roads wily when we’d played in his garden in the pool. The girls then quizzed me on if he’d seen me. Of course I said there was nothing wrong with being naked. They laughed and said that I wouldn’t these days referring to my early developments. I said there was nothing wrong with being seen naked. You’d not go naked outside any more let alone let a boy see you naked. I protested I would there was nothing too it. Okay one of the girls said bet you wouldn’t run naked around the tent. Well before she or anyone else could say anything else I got out of my sleeping bag stripped off my top and bottoms and went to open the tent. “God she’s naked” one said. ‘she’s not going to” ‘she wouldn’t”” but I would. It was the first time that I streaked.
Well the next day it was soon around the camp. One of the guide mistresses took me aside on the pretence of helping with some chores and tactfully enquired if I’d been forced. I assured her I had not. She explained that there was nothing wrong with nudity. That there was all sorts of nudity or altogether-ness has she called it. She muffled and mumbled her way around the birds and the bees and I sat her down and explained sex to her. I think she got a bit more than she bargain for. Why do adults always assume we kids know nothing about IT!
Towards the end of the week camping we always had a party. It was custom for the girls to do jobs for the mistresses for pay to fill their party coffers and be able to go and buy all the stuff we weren’t allowed the rest of the week. Well one of the other girls said she pay us a pound if I’d sure her my streak. Well it soon got around and offers where being made to fill our party coffers with various amounts for my action replay. I was egger to please since I was thinking of all the goodies we’d have. I said I was only going to do it for the girls that paid. Girls offered different amounts. In the end I agreed to do it and for everyone to watch. The girl who proposed the dare said that if I ran around just my tent they’d see nothing and they couldn’t get out to watch because this might draw attention to it by the leaders. It was
agreed that I’d run the length of the field down to the fence. All sorts if suggested had been made and I said I’d run around the whole field it just wasn’t a big deal to me.
Well the appointed hour came and I striped off. I poked my head out of the tent then pushed my naked body through. I could see all the heads peering out from the other tents. I took to my heels and ran down the hill to the fence. Being very small and not being much taller now it seemed a mile away. When I told my first boyfriend this story he would often ask me to point out objects in the distance to gauge how far. He and subsequent others have all estimated about just over a football field. I ran all the way to the fence but was no distance back when I had to stop for being out of breath. I had to slowly walk very naked back to my tent with about thirty girls all watching me. It was a thrill. Yet still I was very shy dressing and undressing in front of them for swimming or showers. I’m still the same. I’m not bothered by being nude but don’t go out of my way to be nude. But I do love a good streak!
It was a regular thing after that for me to streak. The first time that boy’s where present was when I was 16 and just started nursing. I’d had my first initiation and was being teased by a group of friends about what they had done to me. My friends from guides then laid in with tales of my streaking! Well soon the others present wanted proof of my daring nature. We where sat in the shelter at the local park. I agreed to run around it but the lads had to remain seated on the bench. I went with the girls to the rear of the shelter where they was a opposite side bench. I stripped out of my clothes very nerves but excited. In my mind the boys weren’t going to she me naked or sexually I was just going to streak. The cheers I got as I ran by in a flash in front of them was just great.
