Earnest Talks

This is a short intro. I have learned this week that at least two of my sisters are reading Earnest talks and I have to say I’m delighted. They have both reminded me of stories that I will write about in the future. This blog is about a subject I have a very vague memory of but my (Not so) evil sister remembers it well. She is the guest blogger and a very welcome one at that. This is as she wrote it. I don’t always agree with her characterization of me and my activities but I respect the First Amendment. Oh, the name of the store was MJ’s.

The nickel: We were living on 15th st. and mother sent us up to the corner to the grocery, I don’t remember the name of the store. She gave me orders to give you a nickel to get candy and I guess you overheard her, so while we were walking to the store you started wanting the nickel right then. You could be a real little devil! I was maybe ten or eleven, so you were maybe 5 or 6. Anyway, you kept it up till I gave you the nickel and then you little dumba___ you put it in your mouth and then of course, you swallowed it. All I could think of was Mother was going to kill me, so I just hit you really hard and the nickle popped out! I told you if you told mother I would never take you to the store again, but of course just as soon as we hit the door you said, and I quote, “Yvonne made me swallow my nickel.” Mother, of course spanked me. Thank you very much!! Oh, I remember the croquet set. I think I remember most everything about your childhood. You caused me to have a mark on my life for ever. I told Joyce (another sister) about your blog on Sunday, glad she could find it. Luv. Y
