My Brothers and/or Sisters and I acted this way toward each other:

They took care of me cause they was older. They was more or less, married when they were young, they got out, I don't know if it was because of my Father's drinking or not, my brother was 15 years older than me, he was in the Merchant Marines, he came out, he said he was in Okinawa when they dropped the bomb on Japan, they cancelled all the weekend passes then and then dropped the bombs, of course nobody knew that was going to happen, just the President.

There was a big circus, The World of Mirth Circus, when the circus was coming there was a big parade and they would go down to the back cove and set up their tents, one night I was about ten years old, I went down there about four o'clock and I was down there until about one o'clock in the morning. I was sposed to come home at nine. My sister and my brother came and found me, they found me in the girly tent where the girls did the dances, I didn't have no money so I snuck in. I went home and I had a choice of a licking or to stay in for two weeks, so I took the lickin'.

My mother used to tie me up in the front yard so that I wouldn't run away, I took off all my clothes once and run down the street, my sister Jean had to come and get me, she tells me about that all the time.
