Could Big Darryl have been a father before middle school? He was only seven years older than me. Had Biggie been born after 1979, I would have said, without a doubt yes.
But things were not happening in the early seventies, like the late seventies. By the early eighties, kids were popping out all over the place. During those seminal years, anything could have happened.
I could have lost my manhood, right on Fenimore street. That was summer of 1978. And my virginity would have been lost, two falls before that; cousins used to babysit me in Bedford Stuyvesant. They were in highschool.
They were also watching a precocious, eight-year old girl. She was obviously impressed with their pubescent conversation, because she tried the jean/zipper thing on me. The only things which prevented early fatherhood were a lack of erection, menstruation and the waft of poop coming from her zipper.
