Chapter 1

There are certain events in a young boy's life that have a definite bearing on the kind of man he will be in the future, and while most will seem insignificant to him at the time, the mark left becomes unmistakable as he grows older.

"Josh, what's a cock?"

"Hush Karen, or Mom might hear you. Now who taught you that word?"

"Umm, I just heard it around the playground at school. Another girl told me."

"Well, I don't know if I should say."

"Why, is it something bad?"

"No, it's just, well, cock is another word for a guy's penis."

"Really, like you have?"

"Yeah, like I have, now go back to sleep Karen."

"But why does it get two names?"

"I don't know, it just does. It's the same with girls, isn't it?"

"But Josh, I don't have a cock."

"I know, but you have something else. Don't you?"

"Do you mean, my vagina?"

"Yeah, but I've heard guys call it a cunt."

"Yuck, that sounds nasty."

"And others call it a pussy, so that's three... oh now stop laughing sis, or you'll wake someone."

"But that's funny. Calling it a pussy makes it sound as if it's alive, and like it could bite you or something."

"Well, I wouldn't know anything about that, but it's where you pee from, right?"

"Of course, just like you pee from your... COCK!"

"Shhh, keep it down will ya, or Mom will come up here and kick you out of my bed for sure."

"Oh, sorry."

"And, must that be your new favorite word?"

"Yeah, it's neat!"

"Aren't you tired?"

"No, not really."

"Well, try to go to sleep anyway, and stop hogging all the covers."

"But, my feet are cold."

"Well, rub them against mine, and that'll warm us both up."

"Okay. I have to do a report about our founding fathers tomorrow."

"Who, you mean Dad?"

"No you numb skull, I mean the founding fathers of our country. You know, 1776, the Bicentennial was last July. Remember all the fireworks?"

"Oh yeah, they were cool. Thank God I'm finished with grade two though, because grade three is so much better."

"I could be in grade three."

"Could not."

"Could too! Mom says that I'm smart enough for it, and that maybe they'll advance me."

"I'm pretty sure they don't advance seven year old girls."

"I'll be eight soon, just like you Josh."

"And then I'll be nine, always one year ahead of you little sister."

"I'm the same size as you now, so stop calling me little, Josh!"

"Well, anyway, you'd lose all your friends if you skipped up a grade. Who's that girl you just started hanging around with, the one with all the red hair and freckles?"

"Do you mean Melanie?"

"I guess so. Her face looks like someone used it as a dart board."

"Her father just died."

"Oh, that's gotta be rough. Is she the one who taught you the new word?"

"Yeah. Melanie said that her brother has one."

"Well, I guess that's true. Has she seen it?"

"No, but she says that he plays with it a lot. She can hear him through the wall. Josh, do you play with your cock?"

"Well, I have to hold it while I use the bathroom, if that's what you're talking about."

"You mean, you hold it in your hand? Is it very big?"

"Not really, no. Karen, do we have to talk about this tonight, I'm tired."

"Oh, sorry. Goodnight Josh."

"Goodnight Karen, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs..."

"It's just that I don't have to hold onto anything when I pee."

"So, you're really not tired then?"

"No."

"Fine, whatever, reach over to the night stand and turn on the lamp. What do you want to do, read, or maybe play or something?"

"Umm, how 'bout we play, I'll show you mine if you show me yours?"

"Okay, now I really am up."

"I thought that you would be."

"Now what's that suppose to mean?"

"I saw you craning your neck this morning before we went to school. You were trying to get a look down Shelly's blouse again."

"What, no I wasn't."

"Yes you were."

"It's just that I thought I saw a bee fly in there, and I was going to warn Shelly before she got stung."

"Ah-ha, sure you were."

"Well, how come you didn't tell on me then?"

"Oh I don't care, and really I wouldn't mind a look too."

"But, you're a girl. So, why would you?"

"I don't know, I'm just curious."

"And, you want to look at me, while I look at you?"

"Yes."

"So, are we really going to take off all our clothes in front of one another, we could get in trouble if we're caught."

"We'll just have to be quiet, that's all."

"Okay, let's sit up then, and who goes first?"

"Umm, both together. That way it's fair."

"Alright, we'll both push down the bottoms of our pajamas at the same time. On one, two..."

"Wait Josh, underwear too?"

"Well, we'll have to if you want to see anything, right?"

"I mean, do we push down our pj's first, and then our underwear, or are we doing both at the same time?"

"I don't care, whatever you want Karen. Now, are you ready?"

"Yes, go ahead."

"All right then, on your mark, get set..."

"I thought you were doing a countdown."

"Oh, just forget it and go already."

"Okay, okay. See, like my panties?"

"Well, yeah, there pretty I guess. I thought they would be pink though."

"No, I like blue. What's that on your underwear? Oh, I should have known. Your friends at school know that you wear Scooby-Doo underwear?"

"No, and I'd like to keep it that way, thank you."

"Well don't be embarrassed, it's no big deal. Are you going to push them down now?"

"Yeah, I guess so. I've never shown this to anyone before."

"Are you scared Josh?"

"I don't know. You?"

"Umm, no. It's not a big deal. I trust you."

"Well, okay. But you're going to show me yours too, right?"

"I'm ready, so whenever you want to... holy cow Josh, you have a penis, I mean, a cock!"

"Well duh, I know. I've seen it before."

"Well I haven't."

"And, so, what do you have Karen?"

"Oh right, my turn. I just have to lift my bum a little, push them down to my ankles, over my feet, and ta da. There it is!"

"Umm, there what is, there's nothing there that I can see. Is that normal for a girl?"

"Well, duh, of course it is."

"It looks so different though, like you're missing something."

"See my slit?"

"Umm, not all that well, no. Spread your legs for me."

"Fine. Now do you see?"

"I guess, but it's so small."

"Well it's only used for peeing, so how big does it have to get?"

"I guess you're right, but then, why does mine have to be so long?"

"It's not that long Josh, I mean jeesh!"

"Well, it's longer than any of my fingers."
