Were you made to wear tights/pantyhose as a boy?

It's true. It sounds like your time as a pageboy was very good for you.

Perhaps you are right, but I did not think it was good for me at the time! However, just the fact of having the tunic hung up in my wardrobe and several pairs of tights in my sock drawer was a constant reminder that my clothes were still decided for me by my mother or my aunt, and even if it made me feel like a sissy, I would have to wear what I was told.

Doubtless, I was more obedient and respectful because of this, which probably encouraged them to keep on putting me in tights, even as a young teenager!
