HOW MUCH AFFECTION?

[Music] [Music] wait please i'm sorry mary mary yes mother did you have a nice time dear very nice thanks well you don't look much like a girl who's been out having a wonderful evening mom now here what's the matter dear do you remember when you told me that i might i might have such strong feelings about a boy that it might be hard for me to decide what's right to do yes i remember why it was something like that tonight with jeff you know i like him an awful lot and we we have such fun at dances but tonight the feeling between us kept getting stronger and stronger on our way home we stopped and parked and then things seemed to happen too we needly while it was so close suddenly i realized what we were about to do i asked jeff to take me home i guess he felt ashamed too he said he was sorry that it was his fault do you think it was his fault oh mother i don't know what to think i'm so mixed up i don't know whether i even want to go out with jeff again you know dear i was young once too perhaps i can understand something of what you feel first well it all seems quite a lark you like someone he likes you everything is fun and affection then all at once you can find yourself in a situation where your physical urges fight against your reason then those fine thoughts of love and affection can suddenly get twisted mother is it wrong to feel warm and affectionate when you with a boy you really like no dear it is not wrong because this feeling can grow into a into a love that will last it's the way happy marriages are built but mary if if these strong feelings lead you into behaving unwisely well the outcome can be guilt and frustration and these are the things that can spoil the chance of your finding the very love that you're looking for how do you come here dear in the height of emotion it's not always easy to stop and think things through but if you'll if you just slow down the rush and pressure of your feelings a little then judgment has a better chance to take hold and guide you away from wrong behavior when you can rely on judgment rather than emotion to rule your behavior as you did tonight then you'll really be grown up i can help by talking things over with you and giving suggestions but you'll have to work out your own best way to make emotions work for you and not against you hi hi marion i i just like to say i'm i'm sorry about what happened last saturday it wasn't because because i think of you as that kind of girl or anything like that it's just that i don't know you're so terrific and we've been together all evening and i i just don't know what happened to me it was just as much my fault as it was yours i shouldn't have stayed out so late anyway you're the nicest girl i've ever met and we have so much fun together that i sure hate to ruin everything so would it okay now is everything just about finished the last spectacular issue of this year's signpost has to be ready for the lucky students of central high the day after tomorrow mary how's that literary page shaping up it's not very spectacular one story in one poem and that's all still just the pictures yeah we need more pictures don't we drawings would be cheaper

what are they at the baby already sure five months after the wedding how's that for a shotgun affair stew don't be so cruel i feel kind of sorry for fred you always wanted to be a lawyer yeah now i
