That night, after everyone else in the family had fallen asleep, Sinners and his sister snuck into the living room -guilt-ridden and fearful- to see what their father's righteousness had saved them from experiencing.

Sinners had seen bare breasts once before in his sheltered, rural existence: in a magazine he found as a six or seven year old, stuffed behind the seat of a loader he was climbing onto in a gravel pit outside of town. Sinners and his friend Jeremy rode their bikes out to the gravel pit all the time, and one night Jeremy dared him to see if the loader, which was always parked there, was locked. It wasn't.
And what peculiar treasures it possessed! A stinky beer can, and a magazine full of pictures of adults riding each other around. One lady, wearing no clothes at all, was spraying herself with a green garden hose, and seemed to be enjoying it immensely. "Look, they're giving each other horse-y rides," Jeremy said as Sinners turned the page.
"It's sex," Sinners said, correcting his friend. He wasn't certain that's what it was, but he knew that sex involved nakedness and private parts, and there was plenty of that on the page.
"Oh," replied Jeremy. "It's funny."

Did you ever see Caddyshack II?
I sure didn't. Should I have? Is Bill Murray in it?
