  • A house early on...

    Sometime afer I was born we lived in a house right behind the Rupps house downtown Salida on C st.

     

    I used to toddle over to their house to be played with, I say "to be played with" because that is exactly what I was. I was Laura, Jennine, or Sharron's doll in their individual games. Jennine' was playing with me and the always spoild Sharron cane in and wanted to play iwth me. So she grabbed me. Jennine wasn't don and a fight began. Me in the middle.
    Tug-o-war was the game now and I was the rope. After a few minutes of this I went home. My mother didn't notice anything wrong till a bit later. I wasn't using my left arm much. As a matter of fact I didn't use it at all. So she took me to the doctor. I had my arm pulled till my shoulder was dislocated. I  remember the pain as it was popped back into place as I reached fore a lolipop.

    I went home and was back to playing...and being played with. I don't know if anything happend to Sharron. I do know that Jennine was severly reprimanded by her mother for not letting Sharron play with me.
