Do you remember your first kiss? Who were you with? Where were you?
My first kiss was with a fellow 8th grader in the alley behind my house. We'd been to a junior high dance at the National Guard armory building, three blocks away. Although this was not an official date--we'd arrived separately--we danced a lot together, so I suppose walking me home was the manly thing to do. We barely spoke to each other, but held hands along the way. When we got to the alley, he just abruptly pulled me into the entrance and layed a smacker or two on me. Then it was on to the front door, "Good Night." I went directly to my bedroom, sat down on the bed, and shook all over. What was all that about? Would I get pregnant? This young stud and I would never kiss again. In fact, I don't think we even looked at each other again except at Sunday School. Lord knows, nothing lascivious went on inside the Methodist Church! --Now, I don't remember my second kiss, or third, or on down the line. Just that first strange kiss and my last one, of course. A peck in the kitchen while Big Bore was cooking chicken and noodles awhile ago. No shaking on the bed after that one, for sure.

Hey! A peck in the kitchen can definitely lead to some shaking on the bed. Just a different kind. My first kiss was on my screen in front porch after the Fair. I just didn't understand why it was on his 14th birthday instead of mine! My last was a peck at noon. Didn't lead to much. why he came home for lunch when he had a 1 o'clock meeting is beyond me.
Well, I can almost guess who it was since it was Fair time. Some wild buck! Oh, God, the Wilson Co. Fair and Rodeo would be a good blog topic. Yee-haw! N
I am pretty sure mine wasn't as exciting as yours. I had friends giving us(Randy McMillen and I)to swap spit behind the skating rink. Not very romantic.
I was meaning to say "giving us peer pressure".
Randy McMillen at the late, great skating rink, huh! How much later after that was the place demolished? Perhaps a state tourists' sign should be placed there: "Site of old Eureka Skating Rink and Sarah Rader's first kiss."
