"Is this real, or just a fantasy?"
Jun. 18th, 2009 09:31 pmOmaha had some political event going on Wednesday evening so I took Kouryou-chan out to the local swimming pool, and while we were there I had the most peculiar encounter with a teenage boy who I'd estimate was around sixteen years of age.
I was showering off after the swim. The shower is a large, open space with a pair of towers covered in showerheads. He was under one tower, and I was under the other, and he turned to me and said, "Have you ever cheated on a woman?"
While what happened between Der Ex, Omaha and I was far messier than anything Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina) or Senator John Ensign (R-Nevada) went through, I rationalized that it could accurately be described as cheating and, curious to see his reaction said, "Yeah."
"Oh," he said. "'Cause I think I just made a big mistake. I got this girlfriend, and she's like, 15. But now, I made a date with a 17 year old and, like... I mean, my girlfriend, she's nice and all, she's not a slut. I mean, the 17 year-old's not either, but she'll fuck me." I refrained from commenting on this pasty, pudgy specimen of manhood. His eyes were lit up with something far more primeval than contrition.
"Well," I said, "Just don't get either one pregnant. You'll fuck up your life for the next twenty years."
"Yeah, but, she's on the pill. Ain't nothing gonna happen."
"I'm just sayin'," I said. "Just don't do it. It'll take your whole life in a direction you probably aren't ready to go."
"Nah, nothing's gonna happen." He left the shower and went to the lockers to talk smack with his friend.
Omaha said I should have been a little more forceful about condoms and responsbility. I felt weird just having the conversation.
