It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer
of 1957 and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue. He arrived at her house and rang
the bell.
"Oh, come on in!" Peggy Sue's mother said as she welcomed Fred in. "Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink? Lemonade? Iced tea?"
"Oh, come on in!" Peggy Sue's mother said as she welcomed Fred in. "Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink? Lemonade? Iced tea?"
"Iced tea, please," Fred said.
Mom brought the iced tea.
"So, what are you and Peggy planning
to do tonight?" she asked.
"Oh, probably catch a movie, and then
maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a walk on the
beach..."
"Peggy likes to screw, you know,"
Mom informed him.
"Uh...really?" Fred replied, with
raised eyebrows.
"Oh, yes!" the mother continued.
"When she goes out with her friends, that's all they do!"
"Is that so?" asked Fred,
incredulous.
"Yes," said the mother. "As
a matter of fact, she'd screw all night if we let her!"
"Well, thanks for the tip," Fred
said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the evening.
A moment later, Peggy Sue came down the
stairs looking pretty as a picture wearing a pink blouse and full circle skirt,
and with her
hair tied back in a bouncy ponytail. She greeted Fred.

"Have fun, kids," the mother said
as they left.
Half an hour later, a completely disheveled
Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her.
"It’s the Twist, mom!" she
angrily yelled at her mother. "The damned dance is called the
Twist!"
Dianne Funny one! Thank you for the chuckle. Correct terminology makes all the difference. Yesterday I was talking with a friend about my trip to London in June. He said when he was there the proprietor of the B&B where he was staying asked him what time he would like to me knocked up. What was meant by that was what time would he like to be awakened in the morning by a knock on the door.
ReplyDeleteThere's an echo in here.
ReplyDeleteJ/L, How lovely you look today. I so agree that colloquialisms can really get one into trouble if you don't understand their meaning. When Sharon and I were in London we took a train to our next destination. A woman sitting next to me asked if I minded if she lit up a fag. I was totally shocked and I said, "can't you get arrested for that?" Then she pointed to the cigarette she had in her hand. I had no idea they called cigarettes fags.
ReplyDeleteDianne, LOL Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteYou two cracked me up today!! "knock me up" & " minded if she lit up a fag".
