Can't remember the country, Quilp, but we were given little envelopes at primary school to collect some money to donate. ETA It was Biafra.

Can't remember the country, Quilp, but we were given little envelopes at primary school to collect some money to donate. ETA It was Biafra. Oh yes, the little catalogue of doe-eyed kids. I took one home, from the old St. Mary's (making it 1967), my Ma took it from me and I never saw it again. When I reminded her that the envelopes were due back she huffed and said "charity begins at home Son" and that was that. For her. Unfortunately for me, when asked where my envelopes were, I repeated what she'd said to the genuinely frightening Sister Mary Rita. A deep darkness descended in her eyes, conveyed in a withering, practiced stare that had my 7-year old self a-quivering with knowing-guilt till Xmas. "Sit down!" full of menace, was all she quietly hissed. For a while after it certainly led to an increase in the stab in the ribs with that formidable, 5-inch cruciform which hung from her belt if she decided I was deserving. She dished out some terrible violence on little lids, on occasion. But that's another story. Thread derail 😬 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
