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.
'Really?' Fred replied; eyebrows rose.
'Yes,' said the mother. 'As a matter of fact, she'd screw all night if we let

Plans for the evening.
A moment later, Peggy Sue came down the stairs looking pretty as a picture
Wearing a pink blouse and a hoop 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 dishevelled Peggy Sue burst into the house and
Slammed the front door behind her.

Yelled to her mother in the kitchen.
