Scene: A mother is driving her 2 small children in 1966.
The AM radio plays Rock & Roll.
As they pass a school bus stop,
teens are horsing around and preening for one another.
The child I was says:
"I can't wait to be a teen-ager. It looks like fun!"
Mom:
"Imagine how much fun it will be
when you get there. . ."
She had NO idea.
If the video below stirs memories,
you have my permission to lie about your age!
Warmly, cloudia
This post is dedicated to my little brother (he was also in the car)
who has written me a warm email concurring with our decisions about Mom's situation.
There had been estrangement and it was the nicest surprise I've enjoyed in a while!

LOVE the "puppy people." Glad there's a trace of tranquility from your brother. Please still keep your guard up a tad; you've got to protect YOU! Aloha, DrumMajor
I agree with Warhol!
I don't remember the video but that song I've heard many times...
Aloha from Casa!

I know that song was WAAAAAAY before my time. If our parents remembered what they had done as teenagers none of us would have been allowed to live long enough to allow our own children to live long enough to be teenagers.
What a wonderful possitive post, Cloudia! Great quotations and great video. Good to dedicate the story to your brother! Aloha!
Shaloha dear Cloudia.
I've been reading back in your blog and enjoying every post. The thoughts about your family from a few weeks ago let me understand the extra importance of what you say about your brother today.
May your situation get only better and not worse.
P.S. How is it that I don't know that song or even the singer?
smiles. home is where you are understood...i like that...hope you brother appreciates it...
aloha from VA....
I have vague memories of the song. But lots of fun it is.
The more I read of Warhol, the more I respond to him.
Fabulous quotes and pics, darling!

Very good choice of quotations! YIASOU from Cyprus!
Oh yessss! What a wonderful memory. Thanks for today's quotes and your good news. Every Blessing
So... I'm writing this with DeeDee in the background--life IS good. Thanks for reminding me that I said the same thing on the porch of my best friend Karliene as we tried to dance like a 'teenager.' And Andy knew. . .
Aloha, my friend!
For some reason the 'Hawaii Five 0' TV theme tune from the 60's is now suddenly playing my brain. I haven't though of it for donkey's years.
Thank you. I enjoyed my visit.
DAMN that video is OLD, lol.
I'm glad you and your brother are no longer estranges - life is too short. x
I am glad you and your brother are in accord and talking .. life is too short to be on the outs with family
I am so glad you and your brother are speaking. And I hope it only gets better.
Aloha from VA

Thank you :)

It's a gift to be able to mend fences with family. I'm so glad for you that you and your brother have been able to do that. Yes, that video is old... but I'm older.. sigh! ;)
