So, I was talking with someone about the sweetest thing someone has ever done for you, and I had to pause and think of some things. First, it was in the context of the opposite sex, my girls have been wonderful and I am grateful but I'm talking about boys...
It took me back to about 14 or so, or in the words of Sophia in the Golden Girls "Picture it, Cullowhee North Carolina, 1990..."
I was attending Legislature's School for 3 weeks or so the summer before either my Sophomore or Junior year. As kiddos do during Summer Camp, they have their Summer Significant Other, or whatever...anyway, mine was a skater kid with long blond bangs that had to be constantly swept to the side...he was cute...Anyway, no boys were allowed in the girls dorm at any time...However, he had managed to get permission for himself and his posse to come up on our floor and serenade me...he sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" which I had never heard of...his back ups did the "we-muh-way"s and it was a great performance. I don't think I realized at the time how special that was...I hope he is doing well and hasn't lost that sweet heart...
