(1955)I was about nine years old, sitting in the back seat and enjoying a casual drive with my mother and her friend on a warm, Sunday afternoon. We happened passed a large building within a hospital complex where I noticed, carved on its cement surface in large capital letters, was the word, "ADMINISTRATION". I recalled something I read from my, "Everything a Boy Should Know About Sex", book and wanting to show off my knowledge, I shouted out, "Mom, I know what that building is! That's where women go every month!"
