It helps to know the 1950s but is not essential.
Dating in 1957
You need to be able to remember the era to really enjoy this.
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?"
"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.
"The Twist, Mom!" she angrily yelled at her mother.
"The damned dance is called the Twist."
