I had my first really good kiss when I was a freshman in high school. I was raised in the good old days when you had to sneak a kiss! -S hirley Mills Mathew

I was 13 years old and traveling in the church van with my now husband – we were coming home from Great Adventures Amusement Park. He still teases me to this day how I held my lips tight and mouth closed. - Candace Vaught Robinson

I was in 5th grade and we were in one of those pitch black pop-up planetariums that used to travel around to elementary schools. I crowded in with the rest of my class and it was so dark I wasn’t sure who I was sitting next to. Someone kissed me. I had to sit through a damn lesson about Ursa Major and the Milky Way waiting forever for the lights to come on so I could figure out who gave me my first kiss! Didn’t learn a thing about constellations that day. - Rebecca Parker
