Never Dance With Bug-Eyed Jewish Girls
As we pulled into the church parking lot, I remember feeling somewhat apprehensive. This would be my first stake dance since I was 14 years old. I was now 18 years old and felt very awkward being there. I have never really liked dancing very much and this would be my first church dance since I was active in church again, but I had promised a friend that I would come. Besides, I was hoping that I might meet a nice LDS girl for once. My friends and I strolled inside attempting to survey as many chicks as we could, all the while maintaining our macho bravado. In typical teenage dance fashion, we soon congregated into male and female groups along the walls of the gym. While minding my own business, I was suddenly seized upon by the gaze of a girl a few groups over. Like a Star Trek tractor beam, her eyes fell upon me until I couldn't help, but gaze in her vicinity. As soon as I had made the all important eye contact, giving her reason to approach, she made her way over to me and asked me to dance. I obliged her request and we proceeded to the middle of the dance floor. Upon getting a closer look at this fine female specimen, I noticed that she had some of the biggest eyes I had ever beheld. This caused me to question whether she actu
The night of our date, I showed up a little late because of work and found that I had missed the group going bowling and I found myself alone with her in her house. While here a portion of the mystery was solved. She showed me newspaper clippings of her "accident". Apparently, she had had an aneurism and was in a coma for 6 months. This explained the slow speech and the gimpy leg. After a while it was time to go see the movie. Having already been freaked out by the entire "coma" thing, I was anxious to get the date over with. As you might have guessed, I was very anxious to get this date over with. I sped back to her house, barely saying a word. We pulled into her driveway and I turned and thanked her for a wonderful evening. She said about the same and then it happened. There was silence. She gazed at me one more time with her gargantuan eye balls and leaned in for a kiss. Suddenly, I was reborn and my disability was taken from me. I now knew that I didn't have to say yes to everything. With a new confidence I had never felt, I turned my head as she went crashing into my shoulder and in a slightly excited voice said, "Well, good night." I struggled to hold back my laughter. There continued a silence for a few seconds before I heard the car door open and then close. She was gone. I had conquered my demons and was a new man. ally had been staring at me or simply was staring and everyone and everything all the time. I also noticed she seemed to walk with a bit of a limp and spoke with a certain slowness that was just barely noticeable, yet noticeable enough to make you constantly question whether she might be a few eggs short of a dozen. Despite these initial oddities, I was still somewhat enamored with the fact that I was asked to dance with a, oddities aside, pretty cute girl. Trying to make conversation, I asked what I assumed was a fairly simple question with limited possible answers. I
