Two Black Eyes
by Cory Dague

This is a story about a young boy about 8 years old that has 2 black eyes. A lady asked him how he got the 2 black eyes and he said, have you ever been to a church in the summer time that did not have any air conditioning? People are sitting there sweating. They’re sitting there fanning themselves with the church bulletin trying to move a little air to cool off but they just have sweat rolling off their bodies. Well, the whole congregation stood up to sing a song and there is this good size lady on the row in front of me. Since I only stood about 3 feet tall, I came face to face with her backside. I noticed that her summer dress was caught just a little bit in her hinny, so I reached up there and pulled it out. You know, I thought I was being nice but that is how I got the black eye. The lady said, Okay, you have 2 black eyes. I understand how you got one black eye but how did you get the other one. He said, well I thought she was mad at me so I reached up there and tucked it back in.
