The Story Behind Teenage Attitude circa 1965.

Phil, are you taking Ethel to the prom?

Naw, I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me.

Come on, Phil, I thought you two were getting along?

Yeah, well, you know, Harold, those girls don't make any effort to try and hide who and what they're talkin' about. They are so petty and catty. I overheard Ethel say she thought I was boring, BORING! So no, Harold, I am done with Ethel! And, guess what, after they finished talking about me being boring and dull, they talked about Revlon's new moist lip gloss. And I'm boring. That's a joke!

Ha ha ha, Phil, maybe you should tell Ethel what she can do with those moist lips. Hehehehehehehe

I wish, Harold. I can't even get to first base, so forget that. What does she think I should be discussing with her brilliant mind? The space program? Escalation in Viet Nam? So anyway Harold, who are you taking? The girls LOVE your curly brown hair and blue eyes.

I'm not going. I hate that stuff – buy a corsage, meet the parents, rent a tux. You know I can't dance. The Phillies are playing Houston that night – wanna go?

Present day: The one with the brown hair and blue eyes says none of this is true.

We catch up and chat
We share the good and the bad
We smile and laugh

With laughter and talk
With good food among good friends
And slowly unwind
