When I was 9 years old, my friends and I had a mystery.
We knew that boys and girls looked different ‘up front, down there’, so that’s why we had to keep that part covered.
We knew that women’s breasts were different from a men’s chests, so that’s why women had to keep that part covered.
But what about butts? From what we knew, and boy’s butt looked just like a girls butt. So why hide it? So one Saturday we decided to study the issue. There were about 6 girls and 8 boys. We spent all afternoon looking at each others rear end. (of course, there was a lot of looking at other things too.)
I don’t think we ever did decide anything, but it was a hell of a lot of fun!
