No Parking (with boys)

It's almost a cliche to be a 20-something female and adore vintage things, but I really do adore vintage things. So very much. Vintage is nifty keen.

One of my personal vintage obsessions is vintage educational film strips from the 1950s. These little movies are unintentionally hilarious mini-time capsules. What better way to learn about the values of a society than to look at what we teach impressionable teen-agers? Below is a gem that will teach you about the importance of managing those messy emotions. So let's cut out the chatter, turn the lights out and pay attention so you can all mature into proper young ladies and gentlemen.

Toward Emotional Maturity (1954)
In this film, young Sally learns that unless she controls her emotions, she'll turn into a dog-abusing, snake-fearing, window smashing hooligan. So let's handle our emotions, say no to parking with boys, and lead emotionally mature lives.

  1. Betty Anderson? Totally would have gone parking. Because she realizes that you have to be impulsive once in awhile.
