"Okay", I says, "open them peepers". Eddie opened his eyes and couldn't
believe what he saw. There he was, in all-a his glory. That was no
blindfold, it was a mask. Oh, hell, I can't keep draggin' this on
anymore, I bought the kid a Robin costume, just like on the t.v. show.
"Oh, my God, Mike" "What, you're not gonna scream HOLY somethin' or
another?", I teased. I was holdin' the cape and gloves, I didn't wanna
give nothin' away. I held it out for him, "your wrap, sir?" I held out
the cape as Eddie was facin' me. I slid the cape on his shoulders, which
made him moan a little. In ecstacy, folks, in ecstacy. The collar was
fastened around his neck, which I then stroked. I turned him around and
fastened it a bit at the back so it would stay on his shoulders. Aw, he
was a vision, all right. That bright, golden satin cape glistened as it
cascaded down his body, framin' them muscles. I handed him his gloves and
he slid them on, followed by the utility belt. "Look in the mirror, kid,
don't let me hog all this beauty for myself."

"Holy mother of moses, this looks - - WOW - -!" "Nah, it's you that look
- - WOW - - in it" He turned to face me, seein' as it was the only way
the poor kid could see anything. "Man, how'd ya know? I've wanted to be
Robin ever since......." I cut him off with, "since ya started thinkin'
of me as Batman?" "Oh, that's right, yeah. Wow, this is a dream come
true." "You asked if I had some idea for the costume contest....Well..."
It sunk in what I meant, "Really?!? Holy mackerel, go get it - put it on,
please?" "Pretty please" Eddie started kissing me, "oh", kiss, "pretty
please" two little kisses. "Pretty please with somethin' HOLY on it!"
Eddie laughed out loud when I said that. "Oh, go on, let's see it." "Ya
wanna dress me in it?" "Heck, yeah! TO THE BEDROOM!" We were on our way
there when Eddie says, grinnin', "hey, ya know, seein' as I work for ya
and everything, ya gave me this outfit and I'm wearin' it for ya - is
this sexual harrassment?" I grinned, pretended to give him a couple-a
boxin' jabs, "ah, shaddap!"
