Fifteen. Summer Vacation.
I was fifteen. It was summer vacation. I was sitting outside talking with three friends, when someone mentioned the secret everyone else knew.
"You know an electric shock? Well, it's like that but it starts at your feet and quickly climbs up all the way to your head."
"Why would I want to have an electric shock?"
"No, no. It's like that but it feels good. You just feel the electricity in your body but it doesn't hurt or anything."
"And all of you do that?"
"Where have you been? We've been doing that for a year now."
"I've been doing it since I was twelve."
"You have to try it."
So I went home and filled up the bath, thinking, How would I know when to stop? But you find out soon enough, don't you?

Did you throw the hair dryer into the tub? LOL.
Oh, I knew when to stop too. But I thought I had broken it and ran around the house in a panic!
Have fun!
Dan
Those perverse savages!!!
I was shocked my first time when the ensuing production shot straight up and and landed on my shoulder. :)
Dan, that was funny. Man... broke it... I don't know what else to say about that. Just happy I wasn't there.
Ricardo, I know. That's why my kids will be homeschooled and taught their privates are evil instruments of Satan.
Ajooja, it's a miracle!
This really doesn't sound like a good idea.. I hope you are not going to go through with it or you are just being funny :) Thanks for stopping by.. :) You have a great blog. Perhaps your friend meant a electric tingle that goes through your body when you see something that excites you beyond belief. I hope it wasn't literal. Eh... not sure where I am going with this.
Lol. Quite the analogy.
Susie, welcome. I was just talking about being fifteen and finding out about stuff. I also wasn't sure where I was going with it, which is what I was trying to say in that post...
Dave, hey! I guess when you're fifteen your metaphors are pretty limited. But I still think about that conversation every once in a while, and I still think, "Yes... it is kind of like that..."
I think that could be the situation that the word "Eureka" was coined for.
Sbe, you're right! This moment should be taught in history classes and reenacted in high-school science classes.
yeah, i thought sticking my finger in an empty light socket would be fun.
it wasn't.
Kirsten, from what I hear sticking your finger in the light socket is a better choice than sticking the light bulb... oh nevermind.
You are one strange individual. Almost 'shockingly' so (ha, get it!) -- NOTE to self: I have got to be more cool, less dork.
Kirsten, my sister once put a screwdriver in the wall outlet and the entire apartment building lost power, so I guess it could be cool. Anyway, it's only fun if you wet your hand first.
Scot, now now. People have gone to Hell for saying lesser things. In fact, I'm afraid that just for thinking it you will now go to Hell. But then, I'm also guilty of imagining what you meant when you put ... I guess I'll see you in Hell.
Jennifer, I take strange as a great compliment. And puns are cool!
don't you feel sorry for all your poor readers(girls mostely) who "didn't get it", and still think you're talking about a real electric shock, or is it just me?
Oooohhh...wowww...this is funny. ;)
Cig, was I too obscure? But LeiselB got it. Wait a second--How come you got it?
Actually I didn't get it from the post, obscure or not, but from the first LOL (Dan), and the other reactions (or should i say erections? ) and here I put my first LOL ever. great post.
Dan, you gave Cig her first LOL!
Oh no...
15? I guess I was an early bloomer.
Sj, it's not you, it's me. I was too much into my Commodore 64 to care about stuff like that. Honestly, before that conversation I had absolutely no idea.
