Molly Bolt's First Kiss

"We threw our arms around each other and kissed". 
My stomach felt funny.
"Does your stomach feel strange?"
"Kinda." (pg. 49)
 
One's first kiss is one to remember and reading about Molly's first kiss to Leota was something special. It was the first time that Molly came to realize that she was attracted to women. Author Rita Mae Brown choice of adding Molly's first kiss is able to make the reader relate to Molly's first kiss. 
The innocence of one's first kiss is often one that is always remembered with great fondness. 
THAT feeling, in which your stomach is turning inside out and you feel queazy but you don't know why. 
THAT feeling that makes you smile so much that you don't know how to stop (or if you want to).
THAT feeling of a million butterflies fluttering throughout your stomach. 
THAT feeling when you know that it is something special that you will forever remember. 
Yes, it is THAT feeling that makes one relate to Molly and remember one's first kiss of butterflies in the stomach. Oh the fondness of one's firsts in life.
