The World of Mirth Circus used to come, I was young six or seven, down Bayside, they call it Back Bay now, there were no buildings there then, the water came right up to Marginal Way, that's all filled in. I must have went down early, three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I didn't have any money to get in, I snuck in. I knew the area pretty good because I played in there. And I didn't check in with my Mum until my brother found me at one o'clock in the morning, I was helping the guy set a tent up. It was where all the girls did their dance. My mom didn't like it, my Dad was involved but he never scolded us much, my Mom did the scolding. And I got a lickin'. I had a choice, stay in a week or get a lickin' and I took the lickin', they had some kind of strap, I don't know what it was. That was the first time I had a lickin' in my life, and the last time.
My sister Jean and my brother had to come find me. I deserved it I guess.
