Babysitter, Not!

submitted by Jean

I was the first baby in Dad's crowd. He took me everywhere; to work, to the baseball game, to the pool hall. I remember at the Hat factory I played under the big tables where they sorted the boxes. At the pool hall I played under the pool tables and at the ball field while he played, I was under the stands playing with the broken glass.

I have a bump on the bridge of my nose. When he was home supposedly watching me (a toddler) he tied a rope around my waist and If I got too far away, he would pull me back!!!
