October 1974:
My father did something unusual. He dressed up as Hagar the Horrible (cartoon viking character), with a black and silver outfit, hat, fake black moustache, and carried a plunger wrapped in aluminum foil. I don't know if he and Mom attended a party, since Mom hadn't worn a costume, and neither did the friends whose house we went to!
Mrs M had encouraged our class to make our own costumes, but since I didn't have a clue what to do, I figured my dad had mine covered, so I went as a skeleton. My sister was Mickey Mouse, and friend A was a clown.
In class, we were learning our multiplcation tables and Mrs. M was dearly trying to remove the word 'ain't' from our vocabularies. She refused to answer anyone who used the word, and soon even I had quit using it.
"There ain't no such word as ain't, 'cause the teacher says there ain't!"
