Genie in a bottle takes me back to an embarrassing time in my life... The year: 1999. I was 9 years old at the time, and heading to my first co-ed Halloween party at a girl's house down the street. The party was going well - there was a punch bowl, and a bunch of snacks on a folding table in the garage. Also in the garage was the dance floor. The girls were in one corner of the dance floor giggling about something... I didn't get the scoop on what. Then, the next song played on the jukebox: Christina Aguilera "Genie in a Bottle" Apparently this was the perfect song for the girl who had a crush on me to make her move. This girl, let's call her Paige in order to protect the innocent, approached me on the side of the garage near the punch bowl and snacks. Her next words.... "I want to be your genie and make your wish come true." Paige then leaned in to kiss me on the lips. Remember, this is when I was 9 years old.... I was shocked that this was happening! So shocked, that I knocked her backwards INTO the punch bowl and snacks. The table collapsed, and she was humiliated. Turns out I ran into Paige during the college years, and she brought this story up over 10 years later. It was blocked out of my mind for years, but when she told me the story, it all started coming back. I was a real smooth cat back in the day....
