[QUOTE="DDD, post: 454490, member: 35"] Oh yeah, Terry. The backdoor usage was like sitting in the back of the bus. Geez! I protested at home by saying "I'll use the backdoor too." My Mother wasn't impressed, lol. Then (mind you I was a "well behaved, mannerly child) one day I decided I would ride in the back of the bus. Vivian wasn't on the bus and I'm sure she would have croaked if she knew what I did....no question in my mind that she heard about it from the help who were on board. The bus driver called me up front and very seriously told me "you [B]know[/B] that you are not allowed to sit back there...so come sit right behind me". Sigh! My Dad smiled when I told them the story. My Mom pursed her lips and quietly said "DDD you were raised to be a lady and I expect you to act like one." Vivian...just gave me a strange look the next day and baked my favorite cake. The lessons of childhood stay vivid even in old age, lol. by the way, $1000 sounds good to me in 2011 it must have been a fortune at that time. DDD [/QUOTE]
