"I'll Think About It"

"I'll Think About It", is what he said.  Boy, was my dad Felix Unger mad.  Here's the story....I was a freshmen, sophmore, junior in highschool.  I know exactly what grade I was in but if I were to say then the poor boy would be outed.   Let's call him Greg Brady.  Sadie Hawkins (a dance where the girl ask the guy out) was fast approaching, and I needed a date.  God, I always needed a date in highschool, but nobody ever ask me on one.  Boo Hoo Desiree....Anyhoo, I was leaving the band room one spring day.  My dad Felix Unger was there to pick me up.  I was nervous all day because I knew I would see Greg Brady coming out from football practice and pass right in front of the band room.  There's my chance, I see Greg Brady who is a year older than me, and I nervously approach him and say, "Would you like to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me?"... He said, "I'll Think About It".... My dad Felix Unger had just pulled up to the curb and gave me a stern look.  I got in the car, dad wanted to know who was I talking too and what was it all about.  Let me clarify this, I was known for 2 things in highschool, I was not the pretty girl, the outgoing girl, the funny girl, NO, I was known as the principal's daughter and the quiet girl....I know right?... People that have been following for over 2 years on Facebook would be surprised because now, I put ALL MY BUSINESS ON THE STREETS as they say....Well I told my dad Felix Unger what Greg Brady said.  My dad was beyond furious.  He yelled, "THIS BOY SAID HE WOULD THINK ABOUT IT?..NO, NO, YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH THIS BOY, OVER MY DEAD BODY, I'M SO SURE HE HAS TO THINK ABOUT IT"... I sheeplishly explained (total lie) that Greg Brady came from a strict family and he had to ask for his dad's permission.  Felix calmed down and excepted that lie.  About a week later Greg Brady said he could go to the Sadie Hawkins with me.  We decided to double date with another couple so we could go to the mall and buy matching shirts.  Before going to the mall we ate at a Pizza Joint.  As we were getting into the booth, I accidently kinda sat on his cowboy hat.  Oh, My, God... HE FUSSED ME like I was a child!!!!... His tone of voice was like I had killed someone.  My first thought was that "I bet his dad beats the shit out of him"...  Right then and there I realized I had made a terrible misstake.  "This Sadie Hawkins was not gunna be fun", I said to myself.  The next week a friend lent me a cowboy hat and I had crocheted me and my date neck ties... I'm laughing just thinking about it, I crocheted us neck ties.  Greg Brady comes pick me up and we are off to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.  When we walked into the civic center a group of girls rushed over to Greg Brady and Gushed and Gushed and said, "We didn't know you were coming?.... Who did you come with?"....He was the football player and I was the principal's daughter, the quiet girl.  I made a bee line to the bathroom and stayed in there for most of the dance.  I came out long enough for a picture then I was back in the bathroom hiding.  Greg Brady didn't seem to mind because he had plenty of admirers....God, I was so awkward in highschool.  There's not much to tell more than that.  He brought me home probably for my 10:00pm curfew.  I don't even remember if we shook hands as we parted.  So if you are out there "Greg Brady".... I'm a Funny Gal Now, and I Can Out Dance Anyone (all in my insane mind)  The End~
