Every Summer Tells A Story

Summer of ’69

Youth is wasted on the young

✮ Barefoot

✮ Perma-tan

✮ Kool-aid on tap

✮ Raiding gardens

✮ Drinking from the hose

✮ Outside from dawn till dusk

✮ Running through the sprinklers

✮ Staying up way past your bedtime

✮ Wearing pj’s to the drive-in movie

✮ Pedal pushers, baby dolls, mary janes

✮ Playing kick-the-can, sardines, freeze tag

✮ Banana seats, cards in spokes, sissy bars

✮ The ice cream truck put a cherry on top of your day

✮ Road trips in the back of the family station wagon

✮ Camping food: Pic-a-pop, franks and beans, s’mores

✮ There was nothing questionable about Ernie and Bert living together

Late teens, early 20’s

Wasted days and wasted nights

✪ Skinny dipping

✪ Summer flings

✪ Sun-in hair lightener

✪ High butts, boobs, and bangs

✪ DIY nail polish, press-on nails

✪ Drinking in the swimming pool

✪ Realizing no one’s gotten out to pee

✪ Staying up all night to watch the sunrise

✪ Baby oil at high noon

✪ Sunburns so painful sheets can’t touch your body

✪ Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers

✪ Mateus rosé, Black Tower, Le Piat D’or

✪ Beer gardens, outdoor bonfires, rooftop patios

✪ Neon that screamed my shirt is brighter than your future

✪ Cash strapped, summertime and the livin’ is thrifty

✪ Camping trips in a pup tent

✪ Camping food: burgers, beer… more beer

✪ Welcome to our campsite, where friends and marshmallows get toasted at the same time
