There surely can’t be many kids who haven’t once played the game of ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours’, given the natural curiosity about are own bodies and those of the opposite sex. It’s really harmless fun – but it ended up in a sore bottom for both myself and my playmate one day back in the 1970s.
This happened when I was eight. My mum used to work on the other side of town which meant she wasn’t able to pick me up from school. So Eileen, one of her close friends, used to collect me from school and Mum would get me about an hour later.
