Edie also didn't like the idea that Susan had to use the girl's privy behind the school house. The boys had one, too. How unsanitary. The teacher made them all go out for recess and lunch because they needed the fresh air, but it was too cold to be out-of-doors so they would hang out at the privy.
Edie pushed the wheels on her chair so hard she skidded in the mud and lost control and almost flipped the chair over. She was so mad to hear what her daughter had to go through at that miserable school. She felt sorry for the children who had to live that way. Susan wasn't going to. No more!
Edie stopped for a minute. "I was told that passed the school and up a hill would be a fence on the right. Turn there."
"Oh we have to go up this hill," Susan moaned. "Oh Mommy."
"I'm sorry sweetheart."
"Not much longer now."
"May I have a sandwich first?"
"Yes, you may!"
