If You’ve Seen One

It was conversation I wasn’t supposed to hear, but since the window was open I couldn’t help it. I was sitting at my desk, writing.

This involved two pre-teen boys, one about ten the other perhaps 12. They were talking about a nine-year old girl they knew at school.

The pair was walking along the sidewalk curb, their arms out from their sides, balancing themselves. The younger of the two following the older.

“So you dared her to show you and she did?” the ten-year old asked with incredulity.

“Yup,” the 12-year old replied with confidence.

“Then what do you mean they’re boring?” the younger boy asked his buddy as they walked by my house.

The older of the two shrugged, then answered, “If you’ve seen one set of boobs – you’ve seen them all!”

“Oh,” was the understanding reply from the ten-year-old.
