Fetching Water
At the top of the hill Jack watched Jill bending over to fill the bucket with water. His eyes roamed over the seams of her denim cut-offs. His mind roamed the ample flesh hiding beneath.
Jill straightened. “What’re you looking at?”
“N…nothing.”
“Nothing is right,” she said as she poured the water over Jack’s head. “Now you fill it.”
A dripping Jack filled the bucket, turned, lost his balance and started rolling down the hill.
“Help me!”
Jill, reaching to help, stumbled, lost her own balance and tumbled after Jack. And the rest, my friend, is nursery rhyme history.

And much more interesting than when Jack Jr. got arrested and mom and dad fell down the hill outside the police station.

For boys of Jack’s age the world revolves around denim cutoffs!
