You wrote it perfectly Beth. That first time is an unknown, an experiment that can either go off like a rocket or splash dead-head in the middle of the road. It was fun to adventure ebut you had a level head which was good,

Thank you, Carol. Kids have a lot to learn and their ways of going about it are different. We all grow up sooner or later. Maybe not. Some always act like the didn't really grow up.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Wonderful presentation and word imagery. Did you write a book with first chapter before? Because this chapter is a stand alone.
I grew up in Spain in the 60s but I heard about how safe was America in the 50s. Parents could let the children play outside and go to the store alone. Until crime became more prevalent and children were taught "stranger danger".
Well written and funny. It sounds like you were smart and wise for your age,

Actually, it is part of a book but when I try adding another chapter the wrong book comes up. I can add it after it is written without a problem. This one is chapter 53. It started just before I was born. Most of the chapter could stand alone I appreciate the review. We did loce our doors and night but not everyone did.

I remember Poor Old Kaliga...spelled wrong I'm sure. But mom used to sing that song sometimes. And I love the fifties...seems the world was safer. At least for us farm kids. Enjoyable account Beth. Wish I could read all your work.

Hi Beth! I'm ill and still suffering grief and plane harassment. I guess it is my fate. Some days I can barely take it. Hope all is well with you all dear friend. Hugs...

This is a very nicely written chapter and I enjoyed very much listening to it. It flows very well when it is really loud. Your paragraph and your sentence structure are excellent that you have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you. Patricia.

This was well done and so cute, hormones do have a mind of their own and seems like at the time you were very wise and mature. No errors noted and cant wait to hear more.

Kissing cousins normally starts the ball a rolling LOL. I can recall those days as well when things were much more safe. Not today, so sad those days are gone. Good one, Beth.

Thank you, Chuck. It was a good way to ease into the chemistry thing without feeling so awkward. Times are changing. I wonder today if kid think like we did. I have granddaughter who is 30 and nurse. She very pretty and intelligent but she had really had a guy in her life. She wants to meet someone and get married, but she can't seem to do it. I think it is harder these days. Thanks for the 6 stars.

That sounds like quite an exciting summer. I had a cousin like Dave, his name was Pat. He told me he was gonna marry me when we got old enough. I told him it was illegal in Virginia and we'd have to move. He said fine but I told him I liked Virginia. Lol. I'm enjoying getting a sneak peek at your youth. Gretchen

Your first real kiss with feeling here Beth and you remember it so well. At fifteen, hormones kick in and it is a confusing time for teenagers. I enjoyed your spirit of adventure at your Aunt's house and your experience with boys has started here, love Dolly x x x

Thank you, Dolly. I guess we all are a little surprised with the feeling that go along with a first kiss. At least a kiss that involves some true feelings.

Very well written, Beth. An engaging and honest story of your pocess of growing up, and the sudden awareness of hormones and their potential. I enjoyed this a lot.

Thank you, Wendy. I had a very sheltered beginning and I seem to learn more when I'm able to get away from home for a while.
