I drove, some of the time. This was the early sixties, and rural Oregon, Idaho and Washington. Driving lessons for a fifteen year old were possible in... a much less formal manner than in the future. Most boys my age raised on farms or ranches had been driving the family truck for years. The world moved at a slower pace in this here and now, but there was a practical recognition that on a farm or ranch, there was a difference between what was considered 'grown' and 'grown up'.I was concerned that. Connie has never met her niece, Isabella, but there have been continuous phone calls and interchanges of videos and gifts over the years. Connie's sister and husband have visited her here a couple of times, but Isabella never accompanied them, always remaining behind with her grandparents, both of whom died within 6 months of each other last year. Isabella wants to come and live with Connie, and that is what Connie wants also. In some ways, Isabella will be the c***d she has always. My parents have done a good job of enforcing this in our house. So it came as a surprise one morning when I went to the bathroom to take a shower, and walked in on my mom, already taking a shower. Now, if one of my siblings had forgotten, it wouldn't have been such a surprise. But my mom?!? She was one of the ones who enforced this rule. And then it happened. I was in awe of her body. I know, you're probably thinking, "You've seen her body all your life, what was different about this time?". Ariel being a curious teenager pays little heed to her father and Sebastian, a crab that King Triton has ordered to watch over her. She often collects manmade objects in sunken ships with her best friend flounder, a yellow fish with blue fins that accompanies her on all of her adventures. When Ariel surfaces she sees on the ship for her first time a man. He is dancing around playing the snarfblat. They seem to be having some kind of party. Ariel stares in awe at the man he has short black hair,.
