One Leg at a Time

After the Great Shift happened, Jack was pretty freaked out about being a woman’s body, but he was more concerned for his family. It took him almost all day for him to reach his parents back in his hometown. His mom understood his concern about suddenly being a woman, but she told him that no matter what body someone had, they all were mostly the same; utilizing the famous “We all put our pants on one leg at a time” quote. This comforted Jack at first, but was starting to really question the wisdom of his mother’s words. On many days, the pants his new body owned were simply too tight. Instead of putting them on one leg at a time, he had to stick both feet in at once and sort of shimmy the pants and his hips to get them up to his waist. This was particularly true for all the leather pants and leggings this body seemed to own. Then again, it was even more different the other day when he braved going out wearing a skirt! There wasn’t any pants even involved on that day! His mother’s words may still offer some comfort, but he was pretty sure that she had no idea what the hell she was talking about.
