DOWN HOME GIRLS Allan Ishmael Young No matter where a boy grows up, he will be faced with knowing many girls. Some will bring types of pleasures he never dreamed of, and some will simply be pains in the butt, to be avoided. I always felt sorry for the girls. They were missing half the fun of being young. Of course, I guess their weapons were more subtle! And as time went on I was to find out just how subtle. I probably had plenty of opportunities for extreme closeness with more than one girl, but was either too naïve, too scared, or too stupid to take advantage of any such situations.
