Recounting her day

June 3, 1938

It’s Friday. Grocery shopping day. On her way there, she passes a bunch of people on the street looking through a fence.

“…There were kids perched way high up in the tree! I was quite worried they might fall”.

J. “What was on the other side?”

Her: “I didn’t look.”

J. “I don’t believe you.”

Her: “Some things are best left to the imagination”

J. “Hmmph. So why bother about those boys in the tree?”
