This one is embarrassing but what the heck...
Earlier today I stopped by my parent's house to grab something I forgot there a week or so ago. I come to find out that a house a few doors down is being sold. Normally this would not be big with me as because we went to Catholic school we never really bonded all that much with the neighbor kids. During the summer we would see them but as we never saw them in school, we never became "friends"
It also did not help that we were on a corner lot, trees on all sides and the only neighbors we saw was the family that consisted of an older couple that had two kids that had grown up and moved out and a late in life baby that I tried to be friends with until he one day said that Catholics were inferior to the Jewish people and when his mother heard this she agreed. Not a real great thing to tell a kid that was raised in the house I was. I did not care what faith he was, I wanted a friend, but that comment was not something I liked , even at 12.
ANY WAY
The reason this house going up was big and flooded me withe memories was who lived there. Lisa Dish, the first girl I ever tried to kiss. NOTE I SAID TRIED.
When I was about 15, yes I said 15, I decided I had to kiss this girl. I had sort of asked her out a few times, never really asking but just testing the water and finding it not hospitable. But I had to kiss her just once. She was about 15 also and she was cute as hell and i had a crush on her.
So I had to have a plan.
She was on the paper route I had so I could knock on the door, but how do I kiss her?
Then it came to me !!!!
So One day I got up my nerve and knocked on the door...and luck would have it she answered, and luck would have it mom and dad were not home so she could not hand me over to them for the bill rather than talk to me.
THIS WAS PERFECT!!!!
So I made stupid conversation for a few minutes till I went into my plan. Seemed that I had a list of things I wanted to do and I would do one every month. I made up a few fake things I had done the months before. Things like try out for my High school baseball team, get a pen pal, etc...I had done none of these but I had to not make this look like a bunch of BS...she had to believe I had a list!!!!
Well you guessed it..I told her kissing her was next on my list.
Ok you can all stop laughing at this lame plan and read on now.
She is honored but no.
I persist, I mean she would not want me to not finish my list would she?
So after what seemed a lifetime of pleading I was told ok, but only the cheek .
So I lean in and take dead aim, for her lips, but she was too smart and turned to make that impossible.
I did get a corner of a lip.
Well I thanked her and left, half wishing I had not done it as I must have seemed such a loser and half thinking I KISSED HER !!!!
I have not seen Lisa in maybe 25 years if not more. But seeing that they are selling that house made me remember this long forgotten story.
Maybe it should have remained forgotten...LOL
