Gosh, did this ever bring back some not-so-great childhood memories!! But, I just keep saying to myself, all that helped make me the person I am today, and you know what? I'm not so bad!!
I too was sent to a neighbor's house after school because my parents worked. I too was forced to spend hours and hours with another kid my age who I didn't really like. The family lived in a trailer — but they had a pool. I loved that pool.
There are so many disparities in the socio economic scales in Maine. My parents were the first in their families to get a college education, thanks to the GI bill, but their humble beginnings were never far from us.
