Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for March 11, 2021

Congratulations, Louis. I believe your life is about to take a wholly different path from what you imagined.

I am only surprised this happened at such an advanced age. Considering what children are exposed to on TV and the movies, I would have guessed this epiphany would have come at birth.

Louis must be a slow learner. Usually, around age 12, boys finally realize that girls really don’t have cooties.

Many of this have had the same epiphany…but we never spoil it for others. It’s like not telling anyone the ending of The Sixth Sense.

I love math, always have, and was pretty good at all of it. I flunked Algebra One due to my discovery of so-called “girls”…

Some advice from a fellow Mets fan, and former 12 year old boy: Be sure to always carry large books or a backpack should a “strange stirring” arise at an inopportune time.

It’s Ok Louis. I’m over 60 and still baffled by this “other” gender…

Oh, the pain! Coupled with the need to hide a stiffness at the chalkboard due to no coupling at said young age.

The vibrations riding the bus to and from school created such inopportune stirrings for me.

What sex did he think his mother was? Hermaphrodite?
