What was your very first job with a non-family member (even extended family) ?

56. She was wonderful in other ways.

Any kids who spent the night at our house were amazed by the huge spread of food she prepared. Some kids, at their homes, typically ate Pop Tarts for breakfast and later ate hot dogs and macaroni for dinner.

Her "you should know this" attitude about some things was very puzzling. On my first day of kindergarten, she simply pointed me to a school building with no instructions whatsoever except I was now starting school, and I wandered around the hallways until a curious janitor stopped to ask me some questions. He directed me to a kindergarten classroom, and later that teacher had to seek out my assigned teacher. Maybe Mom assumed it would be like her old one-room schoolhouse? I don't know. She seemed very negligent in some ways, but the opposite in others.
