laiwojiazuokeThe baby yellow1 shirt had long sleeves,four extra-large pockets trimmed2 in black thread and snaps3 up the front.It was faded from years of wear but still in likeable shape.I found it in 1963 when I was home from college on Christmas break,rummaging4through bags of clothes Mom intended to give away.
"You're not taking that old thing,are you?" Mom said when she saw me packing the yellow shirt,"I wore that when I was pregnant with your brother in 1954!"
"It's just the thing to wear over my clothes during art class,Mom.Thanks!" I slipped it into my suitcase before she could object.
