I would take my wife and infant son to the drive-in
in Atlanta for such shows as “Prison Women in Chains.”
My wife put up with a lot. LOL
OMG...that’s hilarious! “Prison Women in Chains”
Heh, when my dad got orders back to the states in the early Seventies, he took us on a trip through Europe, and by the time we got to Munich where our plane was departing from, my mom was sick so she made him take all six of us kids (ranging from seventeen to nine) out for a walk.
Hehehe...my dad walked us through the red light district of Munich which was not far from our hotel, apparently if you walked in the “wrong” direction! I remember seeing the windows with scantily clad women in them holding little dogs and such...at least that is how I remember it. Granted, we had just left Subic Bay that had Olongapo City there, and that was pretty explicit as I recall.
My mom was furious!
When we were in Italy on that trip, I can’t remember which city, might have been Rome since my dad had to go to the Embassy for something...so my mom had to take all of us kids out to shop or tour...I just remember walking around.
My mom, who was an attractive young Navy wife (with six kids!) could really doll herself up when she and my dad went to functions, so it was not like her to skimp on her appearance when she went out anywhere.
On this day, she had her hair up on top of her head, was dressed in black capri pants, black sweater, finished off with classic Jackie-O black sunglasses.
My mom was getting unbelievably cat-called. There were Italian guys grinning at her, making clicking noises with their mouths, calling out things in Italian, while the six of us trailed behind her like ducklings.
Hahaha...she was angry at my dad for leaving us with her that day, IIRC, and she was furious at getting catcalled like that.
What she found out later is that a young, attractive woman dressed in black being seen in public with six kids had a meaning in Italy she didn’t comprehend!
