Caleb’s three preferred playmates were almost constant companions. Together, they played, they napped, they explored, they fought, they shared, and ...hey grew. Carefully monitored, the growing toddlers were allowed to open Caleb’s shell, a privilege offered to no other young child, to touch, stroke, and even kiss. (Remember, no germs.)As Caleb grew, his mobility increased. His companion trio was given small, powered ‘steeds’ to use in some of their play. Jubal monitored Caleb’s physical. He came towards me, raised his feet and put on my mouth, “Just lick and suck. Not discussed but I want you to do it.”I licked his toes as he started looking at me with more intent. After a few minutes, he asked me to open my mouth and put my tongue out. I did. He put his feet on my mouth such that the lower part of his feet was on my mouth. He said, “Lick it all clean.” I did.After I did this he said, “There’s one last use for you. Lie where you are.” He moved to the footwear stand and came. ’ ‘Oh, silly, of course I’ll be your woman. I told you I would come home and you’d be my main man. Now let it go. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.’ The rest of the evening was a blur in Pete’s mind. He knew he and Polly went to the movies as they had planned but he could not remember what the show was about or any of the rest of their conversation. He spent most of the time the show ran thinking about Polly, her friends and her insistence she go on their planned trip. He also thought. We were then sent to the principals office, the 8th grader went first to talk to the principal. When he came out it was my turn to talk to him.I was in his office for about an hour. He told me that he would have to expel me from school because of how violent my fight was, he then told me to leave his office so I headed for the door, but instead of opening it I locked it instead. I turned around to see if he’d noticed that I locked the door, he didn’t notice he was too busy looking at his.
