Speaker 1: for all you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Sexy

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: and simple Minded. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a twenty

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: nine year old man, and three months ago I started

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: dating a gorgeous woman in her mid twenties. She has

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: the best body, smooth and glowy chocolate skin, the sexiest voice,

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: and she is the best that I ever had, if

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. She's very affectionate and she

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: treats me well, but she's missing one important thing a brain.

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I like her a lot,

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: but she's very simple minded. At first, I overlooked it

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: because the sex was so good. But now I'm starting

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: to notice when we go shopping she has trouble doing

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: even the most basic math at the cash register. When

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I give her directions to meet me somewhere. She has

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: troubled with right turns versus left turns. My sister enjoys

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: talking to her because she is so dizzy and it's

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: amusing to her. My sister asked my girl if she

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: had any any ambitions, and she responded, no, I don't

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: like guns. She had any ambitions not ammunition, Yeah, right,

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: not ammunition. Last week I admitted to my girl that

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: I have been having second thoughts about our relationship, and

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: within an hour of that conversation, she put it down

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: that is in all caps. Put it down in all

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: caps in the bedroom, and there was no way I

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: was going to leave her. After that, I feel stuck.

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: She is beautiful and the total package on the outside,

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: but I don't think she would ever bring much else

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: to the table. I can't imagine her raising kids because

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: she can't even spell basic words or use proper punctuation.

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I've never had loving this good.

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: What should I do? Should I try to make it

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: work with a great woman who's amazing in bed or

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: find a better woman that has a little more going

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: for herself. Your advice as much is most appreciated. Well,

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean haven't we all had a variation of this

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: issue at some point in time? I mean to some degree.

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, we talk to our girlfriends. He puts it

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: down in the bedroom, but hey, he's got a tooth missing,

47
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: or I don't like the way he dresses, or he

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: puts it down in the bedroom he lives with his mama,

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: or he's too cheap, or he's too short, whatever it is.

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's always something, isn't it. In this instance,

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: you're with a woman who's beautiful, the best body, smooth,

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: glowy chocolate skin, sexy voice, the best loving you ever had.

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: But she's not too bright, you're saying. I think the

54
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: good news is you're young. You don't have to decide

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: right now today whether or not to get married and

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: have kids and all of that. You're young. I mean,

57
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, you guys could just enjoy each other, have

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: fun right now. You don't have to make that heart

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: of a decision, even though I know you're thinking of

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: your future. If you fall in love with her and

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: can't live without her, then you're going to have to

62
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: discuss her education. You're going to have to discuss that.

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know she may have a learning disability.

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: You don't know. You said she has trouble with left

65
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and right. That maybe that's something simple that can be fixed.

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: It might just discuss her education with her if you

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: fall in love and can't live without her him. Hey,

68
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: this dude twenty nine years old, he needs a real

69
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: damn it, boy, you ain't gotta time to fix. Nobody

70
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: to say education, he says, she's simple minded. It's not

71
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: no damn education. Twenty year old man three months ago,

140
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: having some second thoughts about our relationship. And within an

141
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,559

144
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:12,520

145
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and she know it, so she didn't decide it to

146
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: excel in the one thing that would cause a man

147
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: some hesitation. And guess what that is? Another s some sex.

148
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Damn the fact that I'm stupid. Damn the fact that

150
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: sex down. I can't add. I don't know my way

151
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: right and left. But if you lay down over here,

152
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to show your ass. I feel stuck. She's
