Across the street live the Briggs family they had two boys and a girl. Jack was the oldest, Lee was my age. I have forgotten his sisters name. That's something that thought I would never forget(Milly I think). Not for the reason you might think
My mother kept a small jar that she collected change. A habit she kept up to the day she passed away. During the late 1940's a nickel or dime bought much more that it does today.every now and again I would pilfer a dime or two from the jar. Needless to say ever time I took a coin Mother would find out and I would pay the ultimate price. After that I never touch her spare change again.
The change kept disappear and in larger amounts and I got blamed for it and punished. It was not until many years later the girl Milly from across the street confessed that she had stolen the money. I saw a look in my Mothers eyes that I never seen before or after ...
