She laughed too loudly and too often, throwing her head back, one hand held lightly against her throat for maximum effect. When "Splish Splash" came on the jukebox, she leapt up from her stool at the end of the bar and acted out the song, her gestures wild as she wiggled and shook her body to the music. The men standing around her cheered her on, further energizing her, and one of the two women sitting at a nearby table with their husbands leaned over to the other and announced loudly, "If you have to try that hard to be zany and fun, there's definitely something wrong with you."
The dancing woman's eyes darted to the women, and as the song ended, she laughingly excused herself to visit the ladies room. Passing the table with the two couples, she paused, then turned to the women and said, "By the way, there's not a thing wrong with me. Ask your husbands, they'll tell you," and with a wink to the red-faced men, she sashayed out of the room.

DeleteI remember that song and it had a way of getting the young people out on the floor at the noon dance hops, while some of the older teachers probably wondered "What is the world coming to?"
ReplyDeleteGood Zany SSS!
Wow! Great 6!
ReplyDeleteGirls just gotta have fun.
ReplyDeleteA sweet six about not giving a hoot and enjoying yourself (with an added dash of poison for her critics). I love the lead chracter. Splish Splash is a fun song too.
