Schooldays ( First 6 Months)

After the showdown with the school bully, I encountered for the first time another problem.

"Groupies "

Girls by the dozen wanted to monopolise me
Showering me with kisses and cuddles and downright dirty gropes.
At 5 1/2, I didnt know how to cope with it

The final straw came with the latest attack from my old adversary little "J"
I already told you she was the smallest in the class
But her best friend "M" was the biggest
Not fat, just big
Really big
The tallest person in the infant school

One playtime they both grabbed me and dragged me into the girls toilet
Where "M" sat on me while "J" Sexually mollested me

My street Cred was totally destroyed

I had my first fluffie at the age 5 1/2 and didnt know how to even enjoy it
Sod this for a game of soldiers, I thought.

I vowed to be a total batchellor forever and concentrate on my first love, -- Footy.
It wouldnt be too long to wait
Cos at 7 we went up to the junior school where boys and girlswere segregated.

Near the end of my first year infant school another thing happened which influenced the remainder of my life.
My best buddie "F"and I would wander off at nights to places very seriously banned by our parents.
Down by the riverside
The West Shore Landing (good for getting covered in oil, grease and for catching crabs)
The Penny Pie Steps (Good for learning to swim)
The corporation Quay ( Good for Borrowing a boat and "Tending Onn"
The Coble Landing ( Good for pinching a boat and getting chased by the river police)
The Firemans Jetty ( Good for catching Spratts )
Meggs (Good for catching Puddlers )
Salmons Quay (Good for gathering wood to chop up and sell as firewood)
We all learned to swim at the Penny Pie Steps (A defunct Ferry Landing)
One evening whilst attempting to walk a narrow girder across the Fire Fighters Water Pond, I
slipped in. My best friend "F" got a wood plank and helped me to the side but the sides were wet and slippery and I couldn't climb out.
With all my wet clothes I was too heavy for "F" to pull me out but he ran off and got a man to pull me out
That evening at home we both got a bloody good hiding and were banned from playing with eachother.
I think each mother blamed the other boy for leading her son astray

We still played together and went to the same prohibited places but managed to keep it secret
most of the time

Our freindship was to last a lifetime and were still lucky enought to be still alive

I thik thats enough from Infant Schooldays

More to follow from the junior school soon
