What dating was like in 1960

These were the good old days!

I's the summer of 1960 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?"

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, Whaaaat?"

"Yes," 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 with breathless 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! It's the Twist! It's called The Twist!"

I have only vague memories of 1960 as I was only 14. River recalls it because he was my dad's age then.

Ernie of Maine? Are you the FAMOUS Ernie the Muppet?

Very funny, enjoyed it and am forwarding it to friends. I'm afraid I did a lot more twisting in the good old 60's than screwing.

Cute, but weren't the duck-tail hair-doo, poodle skirts, and the Twist from the '50s?
