We lived in the small prairie town of Marino in the south east part of Colorado. I was about five years old. We didn't live in Marino for a very long time and I don't remember making many friends except for one little girl that lived next door. Her name was so unusual that I remember I still today. Neddie Jean Junk. She was a year or two older than me and I think of Hawaiian descent. I thought she was very pretty. She had darker skin than I and rich black silky hair. Her mother often had a nursing uniform on when she came home from work. This probably explains why Neddie liked to play doctor. The Junks lived in a much bigger home than we did and it was always easy to find places in it to hide and play. Our favorite place to play was the basement. A long flight of wooden steps led to the first landing and then another shorter flight ended on the concrete floor. It wasn't a finished basement. It was mainly used for the storage of unused items and furniture. There were boxes and chairs, books and drawers. Several snow sleds hung from the rafters. A well stocked pantry was along one wall and the black coal furnace sat in one corner. Two basement windows let enough light in to see fairly well. We played "store" and "cowboys and indian's". She had her dolls and tea set down there too. I suppose, due to the fact her mother was a nurse, one pretend thing we did was to play "doctor". Most children's toys are wooden or plastic imitations of the real thing. Neddies' doctor toys were the real thing. She had a stethoscope, doctors bag, real thermometers and little metal and rubber hammer used in testing reflexes. I don't know if she had her mothers permission to play with these things but I was impressed. Neddie always got to be the doctor and I always the played the patient. I didn't mind since I received all her attention. Neddies' "examination table" was three wooden chairs sat side by side and a long towel over the seats. She liked to start the examinations by listening to my heart with her stethoscope and I had to pull my shirt up . At some point I would have to lower my pants for the rest of the examination. I do remember it feeling a little bit naughty. On one occasion Neddie took some Noxima cold cream in her hand and rubbed it all over buttock, scrotum and penis. I will never forget it. I didn't understand these wonderful sensations but knew I liked it...a lot! I was in love with her and would have done anything to please her. To this day, I get an erection just smelling Noxima. During one inauspicious session, I found myself lying across the 'examination table' on my tummy. My pants were down around my ankles and Neddie was inserting the tip some sort of rubber syringe in my bottom. There was nothing in the bulb but air. She would squeeze the bulb and I could feel the air blow me up. She would remove the tip and allow it to expand and then reinsert it, filling me with more air. After a three or four times I would let go with a long loud "fart". We would laugh hysterically, then do it again. I guess we having to much fun and making to much noise. The basement door opened and Neddies' mothers voice called to us. "What are you children doing down there?" It scared the wits out of me. I tried to pull my pants up as fast as I could, but Neddies' mother must have seem the whole thing. In a second she was standing over us. She grabbed Neddie and began to bare butt spank the living daylights out of her. I just stood there in quaking in fear, thinking I was next. After her spanking, Neddie was sent to her room. I was sent home after a short lecture. I couldn't tell you what she said, if my life depended on it. All I knew was that I was expecting mom to find out and receive the same punishment that Neddie received. Never a word was said, much to my relief. I don't ever remember seeing Neddie again after that incident, but she has fondly occupied a secret part of my memory ever since. Neddie...wherever you are, I love you......and sorry about the spanking. In fact this is a true story. -- rubrduck@gte.net Your E-Mail E-pal "Rubber Duckie" A stranger..nah..just as friend you haven't met yet.
