In 1984, we were on a family vacation to some of the same places I went on this most recent trip. We were traveling with another family that was friends with my parents. They had a 15-year-old boy, and I was 12 at the time.

We took the tram up to the top of Pike's Peak.

There was a pretty girl sitting by herself, and she looked about 15-16. The 15-year-old went up to her and started to flirt with her. They were having a good time talking to one another, and the kid was looking really pleased with himself. He then got up to talk to his parents about something, and my mom scooted over to talk to the girl.

My mom asked how old she was, and she said "10".

My mom was like



She immediately ran over and told the friend's kid, and he was so embarrassed. You could tell he felt like a pedo, even though it wasn't his fault. Obviously he didn't go back and continue talking with her.

This girl was fully developed at the age of 10, and you'd never in a million years have guessed she was that age. She seemed like a nice, quiet, softspoken girl, so it's unlikely she was bullshitting my mom.

Not sure where her parents were. Probably somewhere else on the tram.
