[we lived in a shoebox]

You had a shoebox??? We lived under some tar paper and had to get up at 3am to beat the garbage truck pickup to find food.

We lived in a dumpster behind KFC. We never had to chase the garbage truck, but we had to get up early to climb out when the trucks came to clean and empty our home. We sure never wanted for food.

Well, yeah, we used to awake at four am to sweep the streets before hiking 35 miles uphill to school with a 400 pound ruck sack filled with rocks to improve stamina (according to dear old dad).

You had a garbage truck deliver food!! Why we had to dive for duck droppings in the lake...and we were THANKFUL!
