Could you tell us about “doing it”?

Question:

I love the Alice books like so many others’. They are so realistic!

But I’m in a pickle, and Alice, i don’t think, is able to help yet.

I’m curious about, you know, Doing it, and I don’t have a motehr to tell me. I’m like Alice in that way (my mother died when I was young).

Could you possibly tell me what it was like for you the first time you Did It? Details would be great, since I litterally have NO IDEA what it’s about, and I’m in eighth grade!

My dad, i think, won’t open up because he hasn’t done it all these years… or so I hope!

Happy Spring! Thanks for reading!

…And writing!

Phyllis replied:

Well, even if your mother was alive, she still deserves some privacy, and asking someone that most personal of questions may not be a good idea. And since you are only in the eighth grade, I don’t think you’ll be needing to know the specifics any time soon. But I do understand your curiosity about it, and Alice will let you in on her first experience in the last book of the Alice series, “Always Alice,” that comes out next spring.
