Their niggardly ways haunt me to this day. If I'm wasteful or extravagant, I feel like looking over my shoulder to see if they're going to catch me.
My mom once got reported to Social Services because no one could figure out how her three girls were dressed so well with her being a single mom on welfare. She'd go to the Salvation Army and buy the biggest dress she could find ($.26) and make three dresses for the girls out of it.
Then she met my dad and said he would have had the first dollar he ever made if it wouldn't have been for her. 😀
