My Mum rolled my socks over my pants and then I put my buckle up goloshers on, my wife on the other hand grew up in the Fairmount Projects Waterbury,Ct walked to school back 4 lunch & then home at the end of the day ( I've driven the route 4.7 miles)
if you know the area all hills My wife had no supervision no winter clothes cardboard bottom shoes socks for gloves if she could she could get them there 5 girls in the family and get this Her Father would tell them he wished he had BOYS , He found a family in the projects with 5 boys the Lamottas and gave them a ride to school
and bought them nice presents .
But the winter time was the worst for her the rest of her sisters
and the girls became very independent and this has made my WIFE a very strong and careing person.
this is not BS I'm so happy to that She came into my life 30 plus years ago
