(1976 July 22)
David [Burnett, Polly's grandson] was two on Friday and was so naughty! MM had mothers and kids in for coffee, and he bit the children and bit [his brother] Ben till the blood came. Locked his father out of the the car at Hot Parking Lot while grocery shopping, climbed on stove with lit burners, after supper poured shampoo all over himself. Sherry - still time to think it over!
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
