Sharing everything was a way of life for me even before I married my high school sweetheart. Growing up in a family with six kids living in a house with only one bathroom might give you an idea about how much sharing was required.
Sunday mornings as the family was getting ready for church was something you could not imagine in your wildest dreams unless you had the same family situation. I often wondered how Willie Kalka’s family made out on Sunday go to meetin’ mornings. They had thirteen youngin’s so maybe they went to church in shifts. One bunch to early mass and then the rest to late mass?
Saturday mass didn’t count back in the day at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church where every female was required to have a head covering of some type before entering. My mom always carried a small pack of Kleenex in her purse for an emergency cover. As I recall it took a handful of bobby pins to keep those tissues from flopping in the breeze.
