I received a call from my old girlfriend. Kathy. she left a message to call her. I was scared yet excited. it had been 38 years since I had last spoken to her which she said she never ever wanted to talk to me again. Somehow I was talking to my friend Fran and he said he had dated her and told me all the guys she had sex with and one of them had a huge penis. I was at my old family’s house when I received the call and my wife was with me. I went upstairs to have some privacy and went to use the bathroom first but the toilet was all backed up and looked really gross. I had told my nephew about this, who presently owns this home and he was working on it in a temporary way. I told him he was lazy which I always had seen him. He just dint care he told me
