It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1960 and Ed had a date with Peggy Sue. He arrived at her house and rang the bell.
'Oh, come on in!' Peggy's mother said as she welcomed Ed in.
'Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink?
Lemonade? Iced tea?'
'Iced tea, please,' Ed 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.
'Really?' Ed replied; eyebrows rose.
'Oh yes,' the mother continued. 'When she goes out with her friends,
that's all they do!'
'Is that so?' asked Ed, incredulous.
'Yes,' said the mother. 'As a matter of fact, she'd screw all night
If we let her!'
'Well, thanks for the tip!' Ed 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 skirt, and with her hair tied back
In a bouncy ponytail. She greeted Ed.
'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 to her mother in the
kitchen. 'The damned dance is called the Twist.'
'Oh, come on in!' Peggy's mother said as she welcomed Ed in.
'Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink?
Lemonade? Iced tea?'
'Iced tea, please,' Ed said. Mom brought the iced tea.
