Everyone was conditioned to throw their arms in front of the youngun's in a hard stop.
We got a pair of shoes in the fall for school and that was it. Most of the time our toes were poking out by winter.
Only one girl in school wore a pair of overalls to school. Every other girl wore dresses. I had two, both made from feedsacks as were all our dishtowels.
Grandmother quilted all the scraps of our old clothes which kept us warm during the long winter nights.
We ate from the garden, woods, or creeks from gardening fishing, or hunting, foraging.
Children played outside and didn't sit inside playing video games or watching TV and of course there was no texting.
We ate because we were hungry and the choice was eat or don't eat. No one got special meals because they didn't like the meal.
Desserts was for holidays. A birthday cake was the only other dessert time.

In any event, I don't think I could watch it; it has one of my all-time disliked people...Rosie O'Donnell.
