Do you remember when......

Ahh that perfume scented outhouse of my youth. Cold water from the latest rain barrel with the metal dipper. Cold chamber pot on my little butt in the middle of the dark night. Hearing father get up and get the wood stove burning to cook and warm the house. Mother scurrying to feed father and make a lunch for him to go to workin the early morning light. Going to the cellar door and watching mother go down the ladder to the well in the floor right next to the coal bin. Playing on my friends swing and flattening an old milk can with my shoe so run and make noise. Till once we came HERE, I hate here. Running water, ice box, bathtub, flush toilet (don't let it take you down). Cars, noise, people , all new to me. School I did not understand the teachers stoic position. Children who teased me and took my mitts my grandmother had knit for me and put them in the icy snow . I guess just because I was new and they could. Never happened to me before but seemed like a daily happening. Late for school and strapped OMG, first time in my life I had been hit in anger. It turned me and stayed with me. Yes I remember when.
