Share a memory involving an outhouse.

We had an old outhouse in our yard but luckily I was in line far enough down in my family that we had indoor plumbing by the time I came along. I never had any desire to use it either since it was infested by spiders more than anything else. Later as a highway patrolman my brother would dispose of confiscated alcohol in the old outhouse.

It had a single seat but the one I do remember having to use was at the ranch where indoor plumbing was never installed. It had a two seats and after visiting it many times I could never understand why it had two seats. I suppose though in the olden days a couple would find it more pleasant to visit it together in the winter if such a pleasant thing existed when it came to outhouses. The ones I have used in the mountains even to this day I can never call as pleasant experiences.

Tell about an incident when your mom or dad was very angry with you.

I am sure there had to have been a time that I could tell to answer this question but I suppose time can be a friend to us by helping to forget these kinds of trivial incidents. Thus I cannot remember any of them and find no reason to rack my brain to find one since my memories of them include those things where they made me happy and I do not recall any time when they were mad at me. That is probably because it had to be really bad to make them mad and even backing into a new car that the dealer had brought over to sell to us didn’t make them mad that I can remember. They were disappointed in me several times I am sure but like I said it took an awful lot to make either of them mad.
