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.
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!
Lake?
Your duck droppings were in a LAKE?
We had to take them straight from the duck!!!
Okay, that’s enough. Now I have disgusted even myself...
