Sitting round talking with the rest of the guys7 lies told, and I told five...But...we got to thinking about our first "alone" dates....you knowno chaperon, just you and your date free to go and do what you want to do on your own....Big day in a guys development...I remember it well....It was county fair time..big deal for us at that age..I had my own car...Amanda was a beauty...Shoulderlength blond hair and a body that Arnold would be envious of.
Amanda was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, butshe was cute, fun to be with, but she did have a speech impedimentwhich meant you really had to listen and pay attention so not todraw attention to it....
So I picked her up at home around 7:30pm talked to her parents
and told them we were going to the fair and I would have Amanda
home by 11:00pm.
We arrived at the fair and the first thing we did was to get some
food... The food is always better at the fair than anywhere else for
some reason...then we rode a few rides...then I asked Amanda what
she wanted to do after that...She said she wanted to be weighed
so I took her to the "guess your weight" booth...
The guy was off by
more than 7 pounds so Amanda won a giant panda bear...It thrilled her
to win that bear...she would not let go of it..and kept talking to it as
if it were alive....Then we hit the midway with the rip-off con games..
tried a few and lost all...then we went through the haunted house...after
that Amanda said she wanted to be weighed again..I told her that
he would remember so she put on my jacket, and rolled her hair into
a pony tail and wore my cap...Again she won,,,this time a giant duck...
these things are not easy to carry around a fair grounds and were a
pain....We got some more food, rode more rides, and played more games
but again Amanda wanted to be weighed...
By this time, I had spent enough, and had enough..so I said nope...
out of money....we gotta get you home....it's close to 11:00......
she got a little peeved, but I figured I was never going to date her
again so it really did not matter....
We got back to her house, and yep, her parents were waiting for us....
Thank God I was on time....We walked into the house with the panda
bear and duck and her mother asked her..."how was the fair".
Amanda replied "Wousey" and went to her room....
we never dated again.
This for the slower folks......weighed....wousey..
