Exaggeration

Back in 1975, I was newly married, and lived on the back roads of Louisiana, in a small community.  I was a very impressionable girl of 16, and I am going to recount to you an occasion, which to this day makes my heart shout with joy and laughter. 

There was a family that lived right down the road from us.  A lovely family of 7, five children, of which one of them was a male species, the likes of which my eyes had never dreamed she would behold.  He was tall in stature, far taller than most his age, built like a Greek God, and my imagination could only guess at what was hidden from the view of my eyes.  He had a crowning glory of hair that would shame most women.  I could barely take my eyes off of his shining locks.  The rays of the sun bounced off of his crowning glory over and over again,  as though it couldn't get enough of touching them. Oh how I wished my hands could be the rays of sunlight!  I was watching from the veil of my window, finally tearing my eyes away from the top of his beautiful head. My eyes finally reached just below his waist, they were in such disbelief as to what they discovered.  I had to close my eyes and shake my head to clear the vision, and look again, to be sure I was truly experiencing such a freak of nature.  What I discovered at the the waistline of this gorgeous specimen was an animal of proportions I had never seen before. A sheep.
