there was a man...around 80 if I had to guess...he used to walk around my block every day - we called him the Peanut Man - not sure why.....he would sit on the log in our driveway and talk to me.....one day he put his hand in my panties....I ran and told my dad....

I never saw him again...

I've always wondered what my dad did....yell at him...call the cops...I dunno....
