Curiosity

I've always been interested in just about EVERYTHING. Had lofty goals as a kid- like attempting to read every book in our local library and reading the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica. Made a pretty good dent at the library but got really bogged down with the encyclopedia- didn't get past  Vol. I.
Once tried the phone directory. Couldn't figure out why there were so many guys named Jas, Thos,  and Chas in there and I had never met anyone with those names!
At an early age, like most 5 year olds, I was curious about the opposite sex. I knew my brother, aged 7,  was different somehow. We made an appointment to meet out in the field next to our house and have a "show and tell." What an exciting opportunity! I had to go first and gave my brother a peek. About that time my Mom came looking for us, somehow sensing that something was up. We got in BIG trouble and  darn it! I never did get to see HIM! So thanks to the good old encyclopedia, I thought guy's private parts looked like fig leaves for many years! (The only pictures I could find were of Greek statues)
