The Old Swimming Hole

It's getting to the point where people who remember swimming naked at the old swimming hole are fading away. Still, some wonderful memories endure.
Most any hot summer day, at least a dozen boys in their birthday suits could be found here cooling themselves...One hot morning, I was in a group of local boys having our morning swim, when three older ladies with fishing poles on their shoulders came walking down the creek bank.

They were headed to our swimming hole to catch a few catfish. We all headed for the deep water to conceal our naked bodies. The ladies were wise to what was going on.

It seemed that hours went by, and we were getting hungry and really wanting to get out and go home to our mothers' home-cooked meals. Finally, one of the ladies said, "You boys may as well come on out. You ain't got nothing we ain't never seen before." [charlotte.com]
