2025-06-23 “This Is Awkward” by Emma (born 1861)

Well, it's a fine morning here, but I gotta say—my brain’s not so fine!

You can see I’m wearing these satin pajamas I got at the thrift store. Last night, after dinner, Addison an’ Melissa was over with me and Hannah an’ I mentioned them. Addison, naturally, wanted to see, so I put them on.

“You should show Merritt,” she said. “You got top quality and paid almost nothing!”

Well, I said no, but Hannah and Melissa said they were real modest, an Hannah added, “You spent all afternoon with him in your bikini!”

So, Merritt an’ Kent were out in the common area, so I tol’ them what the other girls said about showing how I got a real bargain. Kent asked if they had more on account he thought he could get a set for Hannah.

So that was that an’ I went back in.

Melissa said, “What did they think?”

I told them, then added, “I guess it was wasn’t much to fuss about compared to a bikini.”

Well Melissa looked down a li’l shy-like. Addison noticed and asked what was on her mind.

“Didn’t you tell me you share memories with the other versions?”

Hannah replied. “We do. All our memories sort of merge as we go along.”

Melissa looked up. “So, the guys out there… they have the memories of the married versions… of Merritt and Kent… I’d guess seeing you in your jammies like that is a far cry short of… being married to you. He certainly knows what’s underneath…”

Now we’ve talked about it before—me an’ Hannah, more in private… But hearin’ Melissa say it right out like that? I started blushing so as to think my face was about to catch fire!”

“I’m sorry,” Melissa said. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

Then Addison made a joke of it. “Hey… remember there’s a version of me that’s a dude! I have HIS memories of HIM thinking about MY memories of ME showering and getting ready for the day. And I have memories of him… taking care of his toilet business that I sure wish I didn’t have! This sharing memories is embarrassing business!”

Well, she’s sure right about that!
