GODDESS COMING OF AGE   

My ading handed me a sprawling spray of her homegrown garden herbs. They’re for you! Enjoy a relaxing yoni steam, tita.   

What is a “yoni”?

I googled it as I drove away from her place, garden herbs poking my nose.

When I was eleven, my stepmother dragged me to YMCA’s sex education class.

Wait. Is the vulva the same as a yoni? Note to self: ask my doctor next time.

Nah.

Nowadays, I rarely look at my whatever it’s called.
