Childhood Memories

I am Doris Oden Darrow, born in the late 1920s in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles, California, known as Venice. In the 1980s, my grown children asked me to write down as many memories from my childhood as I could. In 1987 I sat down at our old Royal typewriter and began my first blog. It is reproduced here, as faithfully as possible. The dates are manufactured, as Blogger's tools only allow dates as far back as Jan 1, 1999.

Ralph's Corncobs

One time, mom fixed a big platter of steamed corn on the cob. Someone had the bright idea of passing all of our cobs down to my brother Ralph's place, and we all held our breaths until he discovered them stacked by his plate. Then we all had a good laugh, including Ralph.
