What do you think?ĭEAR ALL WET ACCUSING THE FATHER OF CHILD ABUSE WAS AN OVERREACTION, BUT WE AGREE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN ADULT MALE TO ENCOURAGE 13-YEAR-OLD BOYS TO SWIM NAKED WITH HIM. Now we are having second thoughts about our decision. I spoke with the other boys' parents, and they don't see a problem.
Mike is furious at us for keeping him away from his new best friend. We have refused to allow Mike to have any contact with the boy or his family. Legal or not, we don't feel good about it. We then talked to the police about it, but they say if there is no sexual contact between the adult and the boys, no law has been broken. She says her husband and son swim nude all the time and there's nothing indecent about it. Later, I called the mother, and we had it out on the phone. When I found out what went on, I hit the roof. The mother apparently went out shopping, and the father convinced the boys to join him in the pool, naked. It seems the boys had been skinny-dipping. However, when my husband picked Mike up later, he noticed his bathing suit was completely dry, although his hair was wet. I talked to the mother, who seemed nice, and she promised that the party would be well-supervised. WE RECENTLY MOVED TO THIS AREA AND WERE PLEASED THAT MIKE HAD MADE NEW FRIENDS.
56).DEAR ANNIE A FEW WEEKS AGO, OUR 13-YEAR-OLD SON, "MIKE," WAS INVITED TO A BIRTHDAY SWIM PARTY AT THE HOME OF A CLASSMATE. Pelicans & Chihuahuas and Other Urban Legends. Some tellings of the legend end with the sodomizer dead at the hands of his victim and his victim-turned-killer now serving a life term in Leavenworth. The GI is often said to “beat the crap” out of his tentmate upon discovering what he’s been up to. Whereas the college version generally ends with the discovery of the perfidy, revenge is almost always exacted on the perpetrator in the military version, either by the soldier acting on his own or with the help of his buddies. (Both tellings involve predators who drug their victims with alcohol.) The story has spread widely in the United States over the last twenty years or so, generally set in military barracks or campus dormitories. The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, and it was included in Gershon Legman’s Rationale of the Dirty Joke. While searching through the items his roommate had left behind this student discovered a beaker of ether and a rag in a large zip-loc bag.Īs Brunvand notes, this legend has been mentioned in print as far back as 1886, in Richard F. He returned to his dorm room to discover that his roommate had hastily moved out and had dropped out of school. The sluggishness was due to heavy drug use. The doctor seemed puzzled because he explained that the cause of the student’s pains was due to being sodomized on a regular basis. After the exam the doctor asked the student if he was gay. This went on for a week or two before he sought medical attention at Cowell. Apparently his roommate had been using ether on him to knock him out while he, um, had his way with him.Ī guy in the dorms would wake up in the morning feeling sluggish and experiencing abdominal pains. It was discovered that he had a high level of ether in his bloodstream. A guy went to the doctor because of pain in his rectum. A few summers ago, a friend of mine at work told me a story that supposedly happened at the school he went to.
