Did you ever read his poem.....

....."To a Louse"   It always made my head crawl.   Once when I was a kid my sister and I went to a two-week summer camp and we came home with head lice.  I remember Mom washing our hair with kerosene which burned my skin.

I always admire the resilience of your Mother. I know she was strict but she was far beyond her time in many ways.🌺🌺

Your mother was beyond her years in knowledge. It is wonderful that she eventually earned a higher education through books and school although street skills and hard lessons in life are sometimes our best teachers. Regular smile
