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.

Show and Tell

One rainy day, my sixth grade teacher offered to drive me home. I took her out to the side yard between us and the neighbors' and proudly showed her the new cesspool Daddy and the boys were digging.
