“A neighborhood kid exposed himself to me 64 years ago. I can tell you his name and describe the room we were in. Women do not forget these things.”
Exactly!! The son of one of my parents’ friends did the same thing to me (and several other girls in the neighborhood) on a couple of different occasions. Could I tell you the exact dates - no, because I was between 10-12 years old when it happened. But I told several people about it at the time (including my mom, who unfortunately didn’t believe me because he was “such a nice boy”) and I could give very specific details about what happened, where, and who else was present...and this was over 40 years ago!
My mother didn’t believe I was an innocent victim. She said I had to have “invited it” somehow. I was ten! And it was summer, so I had just turned ten.
