” Don’t take it too hard, NNB; I went 0 for 7 on girls next door, 0 for 8 if you include two doors down, and 0 for 10 if you go to the end of the street. “
Man! That was a tight market for girls next door. Good thing you were not adverse to an import ;-)
It’s all in the details: three were too young, two were two old, one of ‘em, her mother was like “Ricky’s Mom” from the movie “Better Off Dead” (FLEE!), one was inhospitable, and of the other three — by the time we were old enough to think of being interested, we’d seen enough of each others’ idiosyncrasies that we all sorta went “nah.”
And so it goes, and so it goes...
