Right now, Jenny and Tammy were ‘your daughters!’ Mostly the carnival grounds were a safe place to be – highly populated by local families and the firemen, but there was always some concern about the carnival roustabouts…’they aren’t from around here, you know.’ Mom was always particularly strict about being home on time, and with their being so late it was no wonder that she was angry, and with those carneys there she was probably just a little worried as well. Me? I was pretty excited. Tammy and Jenny were in trouble, and I wasn’t! What a rare occurrence! Me! Sweet and innocent while Tammy and Jenny were in trouble! What a role reversal! I was Mom’s shadow, anxiously waiting for Daddy to bring home the two criminals and to listen to them catch it!
