Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) VII've got to follow that up with a story: So I was dating this guy who was 18 and I was, uh, not 18 (okay, 28). We hadn't exactly told his parents yet, so one night I went to visit him on the sly, and we took off and "parked" in the back of his truck. So, things are moving along nicely, and all of a sudden there's a really bright light in our faces: "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" I hold a hand up and squint--sure enough, it's a police officer. "Ummmm ... having sex?" I offered. I figured the truth was probably best (and most obvious). Meanwhile, my boyfriend, who was shy AND young AND whose parents we hadn't told, was mortified and panicking, visions of jail and angry folks running through his head ... The police officer sighs, puts his mouth to his walkie-talkie, and says, "Nah, it's not abandoned ... just a couple of teenagers having a good time in the back." I shot bolt upright, and said with unabashed delight (there were some other unabashed things showing too), "You think I'm a TEENAGER?!" Anyway ... he let us go. |
