Spring of 1957
It's the spring of 1957 and Bobby, a pretty hip guy with his own
car, goes to pick up his date. When he goes to the front door, the
girl's father answers and invites him in. Carrie's not ready
yet, so why don't you have a seat? he says. That's
cool, says Bobby.
Carrie's father asks Bobby what they're planning to do. Bobby
replies politely that they will probably just go to the soda shop
or a movie. Carrie's father responds, Why don't you two go
out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it. Naturally,
this comes as quite a surprise to Bobby, so he asks Carrie's dad to
repeat it. Oh yeah,'' says Carrie's father, ''our Carrie
really loves to screw. She'd screw all night if we'd let her!
Well, this makes Bobby's eyes light up, and his plan for the
evening is beginning to look pretty good. A few minutes later,
Carrie comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt and announces
that she's ready to go. Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby
escorts his date out the front door.
About 20 minutes later, Carrie rushes back into the house, slams
the door behind her and screams at her father: Damn it,
Daddy! It's called the twist!
