In Czernowitz I was too young for girls.
Snails and frogs and yashcherkes( lizards) were far more interesting.
But I overheard remarks of older boys .
By this girls came in two categories:
Those who let you touch and those who dont.
"Sie losst sich tappen".
The first category was by far the most popular.
You could be as ugly as a toad, if you let them
" tapn" , you would be the toast of the town.
I wondered why.
