Me and Willie Thompson

When I was five years old, my best friend was a boy named Willie Thompson. I used to walk by myself to his house a half a block away. When I was five it was still considered safe to for me to walk to a friend’s house a half a block away without holding onto Mamma’s hand. I was a big girl; could do it by myself.

Government Man

“Way the hell across Georgia! You must be out of your mind. I’m not going!” You could tell my mother really didn’t want to move to Waycross, Georgia; not only through her choice of words, but the volume. Oh my no, she didn’t want to go.

I Don't Care What You Call Her

“I don’t care what you call her,” said the boy, “I’m going to call her Susie.” He was only seven but he was certainly stubborn and he really liked me a lot. I’m the one named Susie, actually, it’s Susanne. That’s the French spelling, I’ve been told. My Mama did that to me. Hardly anyone spells it right. The boy’s name was Tommy… His mom was going to have a baby soon and their family had been discussing names. He was adamant. If it was a girl, he was going to call her Susie.
