Clever turn of a phrase. Like my first poem, it was never heard by the intended recipient. GL in the C ~ John

I was 17 at a church youth conference, and I met a handsome tall guy. I did not know he was only 14 at that time. Then I found out and it was going around that I was a cradle robber. WEll, if I were single again today, for SURE I would become a cradle robber again. haha

haha, that did not come out sounding very good. What I meant is I would want a guy NOT older than me! I actually think I recall his name as Steve Bond. I only was with him a few days walking around. He wrote me in college and then I heard he was asking my sisters for dances back at the regional dances!!

Andrea, Just like that you yank us out of our comfort zone. Sublime. "We do not remember days, we remember moments." -Cesare Pavese
