Lolita struts up to me after class.
"Hey Mr. Gringo Vasco, I don't think I like Jake anymore."
"Oh yeah," I feign interest.
"No. He's too much of a jock."
"That's too bad."
"Besides, he's inappropriate," she explains.
"Hmm," I try not to look into her eyes, fearing she'll see that Jake and I are not so different.
"Yeah, I don't think he likes me for me."
Get used to it tootsie.

When I taught comp on a USA compass point university--Southestern Louisiana in Hammond--I experienced them Lolitas. Brother, lemme tell ya. Then Adrian Lynne came to town to film his Lolita with Jeremy Irons--the checking into the lodge scene. I had a walk through as an extra--an Anglican priest. I played guilt. Humbert may never have been redeemed, but I was.
