That is what it used to look like when we walked to
grade school in Chicago in the winter, nothing but
a cold sweet potato in our pocket for lunch, up hill
both ways.

I did the same thing in Arlington Hts-Mt Prospect area, 1956-1967, walked to grade school/jr high/high school every damned day. Only wussies took the busses, and we only had a few of them.

Wait; you had sweet potatoes? So that’s where they all went those years? We only had lint balls in our pockets. LOL.

Very funny but that is the way my father in law described his early years in rural north Texas, right down to the cold sweet potato. He refused to eat sweet potatoes the rest of his life.
