First Kiss...Detention

While in 1st Grade; I grew to appreciate Girls. The first Girl to interest Me was a Classmate. Now She was not what You would call a "Looker" even for 6 Years old. I guess however; at that Age I am sure that it was not a priority with Me. One Day I was somehow picked to pickup Artwork from all the Students. I went down each aisle of Desks grabing them as I went. Now don't ask Me why, but as I passed Her Desk; She looked up, and smiled at Me. I quickly bent over, and stole a quick Kiss. Everyone Laughed, and She still smiled. I guess the Teacher did not like it, because right away I was called to Her Desk, and I was led to the Principals Office. I again had a meeting with something I would come to know quite well: Detention. Yes; back then there was detention even in 1st Grade. I remember that My Dad picked Me up later on. He told the Teacher what She wanted to hear; that I would be punished, and that it would not happen again. However; when We got in the Car (54 Ford); My Dad smiled (rare), and took Me out for a Soda. The Girl, and I stayed close for 2 Years, and I got many more Kisses from Her.
