the good ole days
DATING IN 1957
It's the summer of 1957 and Harold goes to pick up his date, Peggy
Sue. Harold's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo.
When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sue's mother answers and invites
him in.
"Peggy Sue's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" she says.
That's cool. Peggy Sue's mother asks Harold what they're planning to do.
Harold replies politely that they will probably just go to the malt shop
or to a drive in movie.
Peggy Sue's mother responds, "Why don't you kids go out and screw? I
hear all the kids are doing it."Naturally this comes as quite a surprise
to Harold and he says Wha...aaat?"
"Yeah," says Peggy Sue's mother, "We know Peggy Sue
really likes to screw; why, she'd screw all night if we let her!"
Harold's eyes light up and he smiles from ear to ear. Immediately he
has revised the plans for the evening.
A few minutes later, Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle
skirt with Her saddle shoes, and announces that she's ready to go.
Almost breathless with anticipation, Harold escorts his date out the
front door while Mom is saying, "Have a good Evening kids," with a
small wink for Harold.
About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back
into the house, slams the door behind her and screams at her mother:
"Dammit, Mom! The Twist! It's called The Twist!"
