What Harold Was Doing with Laura

Written by Uncle Pan

Last night I eavesdropped on a most interesting conversation. I was sitting outside, quietly rocking back and forth on my front porch swing. Two voices drifted out of an open window in the house next door. I didn't know the voices, I just moved into this neighborhood, and haven't met any of my neighbors as yet. The conversation took a turn towards the interesting and I took out my cassette recorder and began recording. Later I transcribed it. I thought maybe you might enjoy reading it.

"What'cha doing Harold?"

"Nothing much. Just rubbing your back, Laura. Does it bother you?"

"No, I don't guess so. It feels kinda good I guess. I was just wondering why you wanted to do it. I mean, you're fourteen and I'm only nine. I thought fourteen year olds were mainly interested in other fourteen year olds."

"Well, I'm not exactly sure why I want to do it. I mean you're very pretty and all, Laura. And I really like talking to you. I don't feel all that comfortable talking to girls my own age. They seem to be only interested in boys older than them."

"Yeah, I guess that's right, come to think of it. My older sister Rachel is fourteen, and all she ever talks about are high school guys. Guys that are eighteen and older. I wonder why that is?"

"I'm not sure. I asked my mom about it, and she said it's because girls develop socially ahead of boys, and that's why fourteens like eighteens more than other fourteens. At least that's what she told me."

"I guess that sounds right. What do you like to do with girls, other than rub their necks and their backs, I mean?"

"Gee, I'm not sure. I haven't really done all that much with girls before. When our mom's not home my sister Margie and I practice kissing sometimes. It's really fun, and it makes you feel good from the tips of your toes on up."

"How old is your sister?"

"She's eight. A year younger than you."

"I didn't think brothers and sisters were s'posed to do things like that. Isn't that incest or something?" ......(cont)
