A childhood belief about virginity

When I was about eight years old and living in the Florida Keys, a "new kid" came to our school from New York City. His origins made him instantly popular, and everyone totally believed what I now recognize as his bragging lies. The most disturbing of these lies (which I absolutely believed at the time) was when he said one day during lunch, "I have sex with girls until their cherries pop!" Having no idea what "popping a cherry" meant, I interpreted this to mean that he would have sex with girls until their breasts exploded!
