52 Weeks of Sharing Our Memories - Ooh, La, La, That First Crush

This post is part of the 52 Weeks of Writing our Memories by Lorine McGinnis Schulze at Olive Tree Genealogy who has challenged us to write our memories for our future generations.

I think my first crush was Elvis Presley! I remember my friend across the street and I used to listen to his music and go see his movies. We got in an argument once over one of his movies where he has a twin. My friend said it was Elvis playing both parts, and I said he wasn't. Well, she was right. At the time, I didn't believe that could be done in a movie! It was kind of like finding out there is no Santa Claus.

My next crush was Paul McCartney of the Beatles. Or it might have been George Harrison. When I first learned of the Beatles, I had their names mixed up.

I don't think I had a crush on a boy in my own universe until I was older. I had crushes on bad boys and good boys and boys in between.
