It began as a backyard campout when I was 12 ...
Nature called in the middle of the night ...
Right in the middle of my private business ...
A voice floated over from the neighbor's yard ...
"Fancypants" ...
I ran screaming for the tent 10 feet away...
And so a lifetime of innocent misadventures began ...
