Some items just make you think of someone on a rainy day

"What Ever Happened to Waterbeds?"

The single mom with the overbearing and punitive brothers (come to think of it, maybe they sort of acted like they were in the mafia or wanted to be?) was nice and let us kids roll around on the mattress.

Hopefully the scary uncles stayed off her bed. 

Around that time, attended a Catholic religion class where some kids wanted to talk about someone whose relative got murdered and the women running the session shushed them. After that, a religion class at a different church where we were encouraged to eat on one dollar a day. I think I chose well: a hard boiled egg and peanut butter toast. But like the other kids, I ate it all at once. Before we left that coast, enjoyed making a St. Patrick's Day drawing for the fridge and people who were into going to that second church or wanted to learn about computers or music (which one was it?) came over for a little party and got lavish with their compliments...so much nicer than trying to draw a tricycle in art class...
