"Did you ever wish that the house would catch on fire again so that a constable can rescue you? And did you ever wish he'd take off all your clothes?" Father gave Thirstposter a strange look. "No, I can't say that I did," said Father.
The real shocker came at dinner that night. "I wish a constable would take off all his clothes and sleep with me in my bed," said Thirstposter. "And I wish he would put a dog leash on me." Mother nearly choked on her tomato aspic. "Eat your dinner, Thirstposter," said Mother. "And be quiet."
When Thirstposter went to bed, his mother came to tuck him in. "Now, Thirstposter, there's something I want you to remember," she said. "Don't play with yourself, or you'll go blind." "Okay, mom," said Thirstposter. He wondered if he could just do it until he needed glasses.
After Thirstposter was in bed, Mother and Father talked things over. "I think Thirstposter may be a homosexual," said Father. "It certainly seems that way," said Mother. "What ever can we do about it?" "I think we should have a talk with him and put the fear of God in him," said Father.
The next morning, Mother and Father had a talk with Thirstposter. "No son of mine is going to be a homosexual!" said Father. "God says it's bad. If you don't give up this constable business, we'll kick you out of the house!" Thirstposter burst into tears.
Mother talked to Mrs. Brown to see if she had any advice. "I think my little Thirstposter may be a homosexual," said Mother. "I just don't know what to do." Mrs. Brown's eyes grew wide. A homosexual! Mrs. Brown ran away shrieking. Soon, Mother learned that she had been un-invited from Mrs. Brown's Tupperware party.
When Thirstposter went to school that day, all the other children ran away from him. "Ewww!" they said. "We don't want to play with a homosexual! We'll get gay germs!"
