“Oh my God! Dad, you’d better come look at this,” Mom screamed one day while she was doing the laundry.
Next thing I knew, Dad ushered me into the bathroom and ordered me to remove my jeans and underwear.
What could I possibly have done now? I wondered.
I figured another whuppin’ was a-comin’ and I had no idea why.
I was somewhat relieved, but totally confused, when he only wanted to look at my private parts. Mom had noticed little bugs (crabs) crawling in my underwear. I had been itching in that area for a few days, but never thought to look for what caused it.
“Yew’ve been with a woman, haven’t yew?” Dad asked.
I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I was so shy around girls that I would turn bright red and almost pee my pants if one tried to talk to me. The birds and bees were way beyond my comprehension. Dad then explained what those little bugs were and how I must have gotten them. I think dad was aware that I was no ladies’ man, so he figured it had to be something else.
The only logical explanation had to be that I had picked them up from a toilet seat at school. I had to shave and powder myself for a few days, until they disappeared. To think girls could infest me with those type of little critters just made me even more leery of them.
