Little Johnny was 12
years old and like other boys his age rather curious. He had been
hearing quite a bit about 'courting' from the older boys, and he
wondered what it was and how it was done. One day he took his question
to his mother, who became rather flustered. Instead of explaining
things to Johnny, she told him to hide behind the curtains one night
and watch his older sister and her boyfriend.
This he did.
The following morning, Johnny described everything to his mother. 'Sis
and her boyfriend sat and talked for a while, then he turned off most
of the lights. Then he started kissing and hugging her. I figured Sis
must be getting sick, because her face started looking funny. He must
have thought so too, because he put his hand inside her blouse to feel
her heart, just the way the doctor would. Except he's not as smart as
the doctor because he seemed to have trouble finding her heart.
'I guess he was getting sick too, because pretty soon both of them
started panting and getting all out of breath. His other hand must of
been cold because he put it under her skirt. About this time Sis got
worse and began to moan and sigh and squirm around and slide down
toward the end of the couch. This was when her fever started. I knew
it was a fever, because Sis told him she felt really hot.
'Finally, I found out what was making them so sick-- a big eel had
gotten inside his pants somehow. It just jumped out of his pants and
stood there, about 10 inches long, honest anyway, he grabbed it in one
hand to keep it from getting away. 'When Sis saw it, she got really
scared -- her eyes got big, and her mouth fell open, and she started
calling out to God and stuff like that. She said it was the biggest
one she's ever seen; I should tell her about the ones down at the
lake.
'Anyway, Sis got brave and tried to kill the eel by biting its head
off. All of a sudden she grabbed it with both hands and held it tight
while he took a muzzle out of his pocket and slipped it over the eel's
head to keep it from biting again. '
Sis lay back and spread her legs so she could get a scissor lock on it
and he helped by lying on top of the eel.
'The eel put up a hell of a fight. Sis started groaning and squealing
and her boyfriend almost upset the couch. I guess they wanted to kill
the eel by squashing it between them.
'After a while they both quit moving and gave a great sigh. Her
boyfriend got up, and sure enough, they killed the eel. I knew because
it just hung there, limp, and some of its insides were hanging out.
'Sis and her boyfriend were a little tired from the battle, but they
went back to courting anyway. He started hugging and kissing her
again. By golly, the eel wasn't dead! It jumped straight up and
started to fight again. I guess eels are like cats -- they have nine
lives or something. This time, Sis jumped up and tried to kill it by
sitting on it. After a 35 minute struggle, they finally killed the
eel. I knew it was dead, because I saw Sis's boyfriend peel its skin
off and flush it down the toilet.' (His mother fainted)
