You had a playground? And Recess? Wow. You were one of the priviliged
kids, weren't you?

All we had was a hole in the ground, and they wouldn't even let us use
that. All we could do was stare longingly at the hole, hoping against
hope that we could somehow someday get into that soft cool dark depression
to blot out the monotony that was childhood. But we were grateful for at
least having that small amount of hope.

I'll bet you walked two miles to school each day through driving snow, and
three miles back, eh?

School? Who said anything about a school? An actual school would have
been a luxury. It was just a hole. And we weren't even allowed to use
that.
