A young Scottish lad & lass were sitting on a low stone wall holding hands & gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy & said, “A penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’…perhaps it’s aboot time for a wee kiss.” The girl blushed, then leaned over & kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed. The 2 turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

Minutes passed, then the girl spoke again. “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well uh, I was thinkin’…perhaps it’s noo aboot time for a wee cuddle.” The girl blushed, then leaned over & cuddled him for a few seconds. Then he blushed. Then the 2 turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while, she again said, “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well uh, I was thinkin’…perhaps it’s aboot time you let me pewt ma hand on yer leg.” The girl blushed, then took his hand & put it on her knee. Then he blushed. Then the 2 turned once again to gaze out over the loch before the girl spoke again.

“Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.” The young man glanced down with a furled brow. “Well noo, me thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time.”

“Really?” said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

“Aye” said the lad, nodding. The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, & bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.

Then he said, “Din’na ye think it’s aboot time ye paid me the first 3 pennies?”
