Teenage angst

 

Judy and Me.  We discovered each other early.  We were in our mid-teens.  We knew we were way too young to get married, but agonized at the end of every day when saying goodnight meant we each went our separate ways; to our own houses; each to sleep alone.  We longed for the day when we could say goodnight and stay together.

 

In 1966, four years later, and we were married by the way, the Beach Boys nailed it with a song.  “Wouldn’t it be nice.”  That could have been our theme song.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

How did they know our words?
