Our aunts, uncles, teachers, priests, nuns, were allowed to correct us and we were made to listen.
We had no dishwashers but ourselves, and every night took turns washing, drying and sweeping the floor.
We had no showers so every morning we would take turns, oldest one first, and stand in the tub to wash ourselves off.
Saturday we got a full bath, but warm water was limited because of the small water heater so we were forced to top off the past bathers water to keep it warm.
We were woke up every morning by the sound of my father knocking the cold coals from the heater and refilling it with the coal in the coal bin.
We had to stand over the heater vent and dress, because there was no forced air heaters at that time, or we were to poor to own one.
Cokes were a dime and served in a fountain glass at the dime store, and twinkies were a nickel.
