I grew up in the 70's and the book Forever by Judy Blume was the naughty book of the moment. Of course I wasn't allowed to read it, so I enlisted my babysitter to get it for me. She smuggled it in my house in a small brown paper bag and made the drop as soon as my mom pulled out of the driveway.<br /><br />I finished the book in like five hours.<br /><br />Funny thing, I didn't grow up to be a deviant of any kind. Instead, I grew up to be a reader and a writer. Go figure.<br /><br />p.s. that video = funnyK. M.
