[Alurra]

Her name was J******. She had 3 older brothers and was very butch, even in 3rd grade. She invited me to her house (which always had heavy machinery parked outside cause her Dad owned a construction company--I liked that too) and we went into her basement to play house. She went to "work", I stayed home and cooked plastic food in the play kitchen. I think it was plastic porkchops and sunny-side-up eggs. She came home and started nuzzling my neck. Asked me to lay down on the couch with her and she layed right on top of me. Face to face. I had no clue what she was doing. She started rolling around and making noises. Luckily the pork chops didn't burn. I don't recall any more (sorry) but I remember walking home afterwards and wondering why my face felt so flushed.

After that, whenever I saw a Palumbo dump truck driving around it would make me smile.
