    This kid was told by his mother that if he were to look too long at women, he would turn to stone. One day, the kid went for a walk down by the pier and he saw this gorgeous woman. She turned to him, and smiled. But instead of smiling back, he just turned and ran away. This made the woman sad.

    The next day the kid was again at the pier for a walk, and he sees the same woman. Again, she turned to him and smiles, and again he turns and runs away without a word. This goes on for another day or two, when the woman gets fed up and runs after the kid and catches him. She asks him why he keeps running away. The boy sheepishly replies, my mom said if I look too long at women I’ll turn to stone, and when I would see you smiling at me, I felt myself getting hard.
