MY SISTER AMY

My sister loves eggs. My brother and I would eat our boiled eggs and then play a joke on Amy. We would hurry and eat our eggs before she came to the table and then turn the empty shells over in our eggcups then offer them
to Amy and she would think she had 3 eggs instead of one.
One-day mother thought she would satisfy Amy's craving for eggs by serving her a turkey egg, which had to be put in a teacup instead of an eggcup. Amy was pleased with her egg but complained that two would have been better!



Years later, when she came over to America (she was married with 4 children and mother came with them) when out shopping for groceries the grocery clerk teased her about buying 10 dozen eggs at a time!


In 1923 Amy May was four years old, and mother sent her to the corner grocery to buy onions. Amy returned home with a bag of candy and said “Mama, do you know you can get sweets with that money?”
