In the Tilly and Elmer FlashbackX series, our favorite sexagenarians describe, in sometimes hilarious and sometimes scandalous detail, their slow motion coming of age in the Midwest in the early sixties. From their clumsy first date to the first time they go “all the way” (on the second try), you’ll gasp at Elmer’s stupidity, smile at Tilly’s (real or faked?) innocence, and perhaps shed a tear of recognition at the blundering beauty of their first time.
Spring 1963 is nearly at hand, and now that Tilly and Elmer have finally gone “ALL THE WAY”, what they want to do, really, the only thing they want to do, is practice. It’s not so easy in the winter, although they find some surprising ways to express their love for each other, but as spring comes, they find it easier to study their favorite subject together.
"Tilly looked down at Elmer’s lean, naked body, and began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Elmer wanted to know.
“That part of you looks like a little prairie dog poking its head out of its burrow every time I move!"
Elmer responded by reciting a familiar cheer from the South Branch High Prairie Dog cheerleading squad:
“South Branch High is going to soar
Our Prairie Dogs are bound to win,
Now’s a perfect time to score
Come on boys, let’s put it in.”
