“Fuck no! I was at work amigo!” I trembled.
Jose turns to the fat guy. “Not him. I know him. Vamanos.”
They leave. I shit my pants and get the razor and foam.

This happened when I was 8 years old. I was playing in the garden of my house when I heard my neighbors, a young husband and wife shouting. The husband was shouting, “Whose underwear is this ?”.
