60DCA_int_0194.9294Great.95.2186
62 96.4040How about uh,97.3598 
64 99.0757uh, did you ever play that game where one kid101.3992 
66 102.2230has to hide his eyes while everyone else hides?104.5961 
68 104.7407/Being chased/.105.3475 
69DCA_se1_ag3_f_02105.4607<ts> Hide and Seek.106.7655
70DCA_int_01107.0068Yeah, how does that work?108.3808
71DCA_se1_ag3_f_02109.1291Oh, I didn't play that until I was about-111.2043
73 111.9518I guess about ten years old113.9043 
75 114.5394because the boys were so rough, you know.116.6735 
77 117.1892And every time the girls would try to hide, usually one of the girls would get hurt, so we just never did bother to play it.122.6152 
78DCA_int_01122.6686Mm-hm.123.0899
79DCA_se1_ag3_f_02123.7746[Til I] was about ten years old, but it was a pretty interesting game126.7842
80DCA_int_01123.8060[Hm.]124.1236
81 127.6694[/unintelligible/]128.5372
82DCA_se1_ag3_f_02127.8329[cause the] majority of 'em wanted to cheat. [<laugh>]131.4486
83DCA_int_01129.4270[<laugh>]131.3417
84 132.2465How did it work at ten years old?133.9758
85DCA_se1_ag3_f_02134.5228Well, normally they would just give you a small137.7385
87 138.4837hiding range, you know, where you could hide, but you couldn't hide but so far away from143.2557 
89 143.7045what they call, home base.145.1131 
91 145.8551And normally you had two or three that would cheat,148.0427 
93 148.3139but-148.6294 
94DCA_int_01149.7940By hiding farther out?150.9887
95DCA_se1_ag3_f_02150.9825Right, farther out and then that would cause him not to get caught because they would be looking for him in the closer place, and while they was looking for him in a closer place, then normally they would get back.160.1736
96DCA_int_01160.5760Mm-hm.161.2678
98 162.2959Well,163.0002 
100 163.2643how did it work? I mean, how did they-165.0620 
102 166.1781how did uh, you win or lose or?168.5260 
104 170.2333In other words, just sort of describe how the-172.3359 
106 172.6535how the game was played.173.9772 
108 174.8292Pretend like I'm a foreigner just got off the boat, and I never heard of it. [<laugh>]178.7178 
109DCA_se1_ag3_f_02178.2745[Uh-huh. (whispered)]178.6895
110 179.3875Well you take the-180.8550
112 181.2009Well some children, they count from one to ten and some count185.0391 
114 185.9886from five to a hundred, you know, in- in the consecutive five numbers.190.3582 
116 191.1977And191.8359 
118 192.1244you have from five to hundred or from one to ten to hide.196.0609 
120 196.6889And if you are caught198.2547 
122 198.9747still trying to find a place to hide, then you automatically out,202.7155 
124 203.2028but if you get a chance to hide-204.9062 
126 205.1766If they see you before you get back to home base,207.6856 
128 208.1376they'll call your name and say that you are out.210.2913 
130 210.8478But if you're still left out at the end,213.1316 
132 213.3010and they can't find you,214.5226 
134 214.8527then you win, but all those that are out, they have to come and stay until the rest are found.219.6059 
135DCA_int_01219.6750I see.220.3911
137 221.4507How about the kid that has to go looking?223.3120 
139 223.4975What was he called?224.6474 
141 225.1191Is there a name for that?226.3076 
142DCA_se1_ag3_f_02228.6241It's just the caller.229.8723
143DCA_int_01230.2244Mm-hm.230.7243
145 231.4223How about um,232.3648 
147 232.5346the first time, when you first start playing, how do you pick the guy that has to go look?236.7438 
149 236.9419Go looking.237.6305 
150DCA_se1_ag3_f_02240.1709Normally, you just get together, and whoever decides they want to do it, does.244.2418
151DCA_int_01245.1908Did you ever have a problem of nobody wants to do it?247.2060

424 632.5347twice before- That was the third time we had ever let him out.635.8479

428 640.4092And he was out there playing with 'em,642.0120 
430 642.2226and he ran up the street and came back. And then,644.4110

468 695.9899a dog once, and she had a name for her dog.699.0767 
470 699.6709So she told us what her dog's name was, and I don't even remember,703.5312 
472 704.3518but uh, we started calling the dog by the name that she had for her dog, so709.0704

476 711.4528you know much better712.2829 
478 712.6602than he did Blackie, so714.1811 
480 714.5239we kept the name for her, you know, until she got killed.717.4794

506DCA_se1_ag3_f_02752.4635None that I know of. No more than she will pay attention to you once in awhile.756.9051
507DCA_int_01756.9522Nyuh.757.1761
508DCA_se1_ag3_f_02757.6569But I think the main thing is that she has to get accustomed to the children,761.5648
509DCA_int_01761.6712[Yeah.]762.1994
510DCA_se1_ag3_f_02761.7014[you know.]762.1711

520DCA_int_01773.7203Mm-hm.774.0159
521DCA_se1_ag3_f_02774.0819Because normally I'll let the kids come up here and look at television.777.3636
523 777.7724You know, rather than for mine to be out there on the street.779.9976 
524DCA_int_01780.2209Mm-hm.780.6485

553 818.3523fight, and the majority of 'em819.9551
555 820.4047would uh, go home, you know, so they could congregate at the soda shop824.0102 
557 824.6390you know, later.825.4377 
559 826.1074Because we had one right in the neighborhood-828.3201 
561 829.3513Well, as a matter of fact, it was on the same street, you know, so832.6268 
563 832.9663normally we'd save our lunch money. Instead of eating lunch at school and just go over there, you know.837.4019 
565 837.9333And buy us a soda and some cookies or something, just sit around.841.4162 
566DCA_int_01844.0940Um,844.4377
568 844.8205what did the fights start about?847.2007 
569DCA_se1_ag3_f_02848.5959[Normally because somebody] in the classroom850.9540
570DCA_int_01848.6148[/inaudible/]849.6342
571DCA_se1_ag3_f_02851.2079had told on somebody sitting up talking or throwing bubble gum.854.9777

575DCA_se1_ag3_f_02861.0538Or pulling girls' hair or863.3710
577 863.8010some of the boys would say they like this girl, and another boy would come up and say well he like her. And then868.6894 
579 868.9535some of the boys would like to fight- you know, like to beat on the girls because they wouldn't take up time to talk to them,874.4989 
580DCA_int_01874.6310Ss! <laugh>875.9988
581DCA_se1_ag3_f_02876.3510which is still going on.877.6727

583DCA_se1_ag3_f_02878.0988[/T-/]878.2902
584DCA_int_01879.6349Yeah that's what I was going to ask you, do you think kids nowadays882.5656
586 882.7539do pretty much the same thing as when [/you were a kid/?]885.0474 
587DCA_se1_ag3_f_02884.5746[Yes.]885.1776
588 885.6251They just-886.3245
590 886.5850Uh, nowadays I think888.2611 
592 888.4447it's uh,889.3057 
594 890.1692more out in the open, you know,892.0926 
596 892.4932because893.0238 
598 893.5352in- in-893.9500 
600 894.1961in my childhood,895.8844 
602 896.3524normally if they did these things, you know they sneak around and do 'em like coming from school or waiting til it get dark.902.1785 
604 902.5066But nowadays, the kids don't really care, I don't think.905.3756 
605DCA_int_01905.5252Mm-hm.905.9786
607 907.6499/Good/.908.0819 
609 909.2541Uh, did you ever have a teacher who hollered a lot?911.8820 
611 912.8178In school.913.2568 
612DCA_se1_ag3_f_02913.4546I had a teacher that was very nervous.915.6591
614 916.5598But, uh,917.3649 
616 919.5991after she was at the school about three years, they said that she had923.6645 
618 924.1574TB.924.8030 
619DCA_int_01925.0828Mm.925.4494
620DCA_se1_ag3_f_02925.6906You know? And they thought that927.2873
622 927.7263this, you know,928.8117 
624 929.0758probably came from930.3156 
626 930.6629knowing that she had it, and she was possibly just irritated most of the time,935.1299 
628 935.4760or else she just wanted to really take it out on the other children.938.1099 
629DCA_int_01938.4669Mm-hm.938.9300
631 939.6198What would she holler about?940.8982 
632DCA_se1_ag3_f_02941.1816Anything.941.8328
633DCA_int_01943.4585/Talking/.944.1966
635 946.2082Not doing your homework.947.4817 
636DCA_se1_ag3_f_02949.3136Well normally if she didn't hear you,951.2046
638 951.8751you know, whenever she'd ask you a question, she would holler at you.955.0771 
640 956.0708And then,956.8233 
642 957.2961if you did answer her question, and you didn't answer it completely, she would holler at you.961.7619 
644 962.1816So that's the reason why I say everything cause it didn't really matter965.0663 
646 965.3171long as she could open her mouth.966.5797 
647DCA_int_01966.9561Mm-hm.967.3758
649 968.2200Did you ever969.0979

654DCA_se1_ag3_f_02970.8249[get hollered at?] Yes,972.2432
655DCA_int_01972.4591<laugh>972.9511
656DCA_se1_ag3_f_02973.1778because I was always a soft talker,975.3390
658 975.5946you know?976.0722 
660 976.4340And the only time I'd have anything to say was when somebody would say something to me.980.2389 
661DCA_int_01980.4994Mm-hm.980.9866
663 981.9756Did you feel that it was fair or983.7074 
665 984.3875she was picking on you?985.6550 
666DCA_se1_ag3_f_02986.0120Well during that time, I didn't think it was fair. Well in some ways, now, I still don't think it was.990.6864
667DCA_int_01990.7238Mm-hm.991.1435
668DCA_se1_ag3_f_02991.1098Because I feel like992.3399
669 993.2130if you're in a class to learn, the best thing to do is keep your mouth closed so you can learn something.997.8139
671 998.2384You can't sit up and talk and- and listen to.1001.4849 
672DCA_int_011005.0969Okay, what about the best teacher you ever had?1007.5523
674 1007.8128Does one person stand out as the best?1010.0304 
675DCA_se1_ag3_f_021012.4378The best teacher I ever had, I didn't even know she was the best teacher until I-1016.5392
677 1016.7228my last year of s-1017.9552 
679 1018.1240of high school.1019.2432 
681 1020.9965I thought she was a snob the first-1023.7697 
683 1024.0949/Whenever/ I was in the ninth grade,1025.9618 
685 1027.0761I thought she was a snob1028.6522 
687 1031.1464because I went1032.0629 
689 1032.6080back to North Carolina the last of the ninth grade,1034.8595 
691 1035.4433and she was teaching English.1037.3534 
693 1038.0000And everybody called her Mom, you know. And I couldn't figure out why they called her Mom.1042.0606 
695 1042.5719And after I got in the class, she was always, you know, talking to the girls. She was more or less a girl counselor1047.7806 
697 1048.5235So I thought she was about the worst person in the world,1051.2008 
698DCA_int_011051.3455Hm.1051.7266
699DCA_se1_ag3_f_021051.6688and then, you know, after she1053.6888
700 1054.6391talked, and you know tried to teach us different things,1057.3730
702 1057.9580it took me about two years to really you know, catch on to what she was trying to do.1062.2791 
704 1063.3934But1063.8228 
706 1064.3920my last year of schooling I was in her English class,1068.1921 
708 1069.3595and I thought she was a wonderful person. You know, it was1072.6338 
710 1073.2030just the way that she did things that made me think you know, that she wouldn't1077.0477 
712 1077.5253be a nice person.1078.6963 
714 1079.0581Then after-1079.9023 
716 1080.3123Would- You know, I got in her class and I was able to understand1083.4383 
718 1083.7470really what she was talking about, and I thought she was the best person, you know,1086.7753 
720 1087.2818in the whole school.1088.3141 
721DCA_int_011088.7097Hm.1089.1101
723 1090.2425Did you ever have a teacher you couldn't stand?1091.9598 
724DCA_se1_ag3_f_021094.9989I had a lot of those.1096.3400
726 1097.9596And that was mainly because they were all after me for the same reason1101.1724 
728 1101.7609because I wouldn't talk louder.1103.7231 
730 1104.1573You know, I wouldn't talk very much.1105.9759 
732 1107.3652Cause I've always figured if you1109.1452 
734 1109.9689ask a person a question, you know,1111.7972 
736 1112.0674as long as they give you a reasonable answer, that's it.1114.9280 
737DCA_int_011115.0956Mm-hm.1115.7083

745DCA_se1_ag3_f_021129.1020Well now, a- what I would call a bad teacher is a teacher that1133.2217
747 1133.7547will1134.1408 
749 1134.7642leave out of the building and sit right in front of the building, which I have seen recently,1139.3084 
751 1139.8571drinking in front of the stud- and cursing in the classrooms and snatching on the children.1145.4336 
753 1145.9534I don't dominate1147.6804 
755 1147.9505a teacher for punishing a child because I think that is the only way they- you- that you are going to be able to get along with them.1154.3314 
757 1154.8090You know, and be able to teach them anything.1157.2162 
759 1157.5153But I do dominate one that1159.2507 
761 1159.7572is always snatching on the children and slapping on 'em because I think there is a more decent way to punish a child.1165.7763 
762DCA_int_011165.9645Mm-hm.1166.4999
764 1167.0691What about when you were a kid? Did you have a different idea?1170.1372

924 1411.1009Give her five minutes, she's1412.5288 
926 1412.7881changed her clothes and she has 'em on backward and1415.3544 
928 1415.7548then she can't find her shoes and this type thing, so1418.2247 
930 1418.5865it's a full time job, you know, just trying to1420.9539 
932 1421.3012more or less take care of her1422.7532 
934 1423.1102with the children- They watch her.1424.6452 
936 1424.9807You know, they help me to watch her.1426.4906 
938 1427.2672So, it's not really as bad, you know, as it would be otherwise.1430.8949 
939DCA_int_011431.4243That's good.1432.1334
940DCA_se1_ag3_f_021432.2106But right now, you- you know,1433.8459
942 1434.1740if I could get out and go to work, it would still be a hinderance to me because the kids will be going back to school,1439.1173 
943DCA_int_011439.1704/Oh sure/.1439.6094
944DCA_se1_ag3_f_021439.5804and then I would have to get somebody to stay here with her.1441.8429
945DCA_int_011442.3727Yeah.1442.6346
947 1445.1268Well,1445.6140 
949 1445.8359okay.1446.5354 
951 1448.1177Uh, here's a question to test your imagination.1450.7454 
953 1451.8454If you had all the money you wanted,1453.4325 
955 1453.8859you could get more when that ran out, what would you do?1456.6115 
956DCA_se1_ag3_f_021459.4661First thing would be to buy my children some clothes1461.9673
958 1462.8635and get them straighten- You know, and get them straightened out for school1466.1973 
960 1467.0162and possibly buy me a home.1468.7046 
962 1469.9878And then I would worry about transportation,1472.3033 
963DCA_int_011472.7990Mm-hm.1473.2572
964DCA_se1_ag3_f_021473.4634but I wouldn't really you know, try to spend it all,1476.1516
966 1476.3880save some, you know1477.7484 
968 1478.1246for something else but I think the main thing would be,1480.3425 
970 1480.6271after getting the children straightened out for school, would be to1483.2706 
972 1483.6372get my bills straightened out.1484.8853 
973DCA_int_011485.2306Mm-hm.1485.5498
975 1486.9260What if it really were a limitless supply? In other words,1489.9361 
977 1491.0445you could spend- It was so much that you could-1493.8182 
979 1494.2572There'd be no point in saving because you wouldn't live long enough to spend it.1497.3144 
981 1497.8204/You know/.1498.2869 
983 1499.9387Would you do anything spectacular, with it?1502.1480 
984DCA_se1_ag3_f_021503.7195No more than make a will for my children to [spend the rest of it (laughing).]1507.5111
985DCA_int_011506.0350[<laugh>]1507.4966

988DCA_int_011514.6687Here's another one-1515.5997
990 1516.6067Question along those lines. I don't know if you ever think about this, but if you could be1520.7794 
992 1522.0566the president or the1523.5134 
994 1523.9524dictator of the US,1525.4044

998 1527.9551How would you improve1528.9151 
1000 1529.1804things?1529.6146 
1001DCA_se1_ag3_f_021530.4057How would I improve things?1531.9629
1003 1533.0058Well I think the first thing I would do is try to take care of the home front first.1537.1822 
1004DCA_int_011537.4861Mm-hm.1538.0215
1005DCA_se1_ag3_f_021538.1180Because we have so many people that-1540.0428
1007 1541.0884that's hungry in the United States,1543.2544 
1009 1543.6692where they were sending the money other places that I think they could really use here.1547.4211 
1010DCA_int_011547.6478Mm-hm.1548.1350
1012 1549.9585Any other policies you would have?1551.8253 
1013DCA_se1_ag3_f_021554.8874I think that if it was in my power, I would make better laws1558.1243

1122 1724.9241and uh,1725.6815 
1124 1727.9283this taxi had run a red light1730.2004 
1126 1730.5236and run into us and knocked us into a telegram post.1733.6869 
1128 1734.3236And1734.9701

1132 1738.2491tell my mother to swap seats with me, you know.1740.5502

1136DCA_se1_ag3_f_021743.4687but then after we swapped seats, I passed out,1745.9332
1138 1746.0724you know. And then1746.8202 
1140 1747.4617it had really jarred me because my head was upset.1750.0377 
1141DCA_int_011750.3561Hm.1750.7324
1143 1752.0819How long did it take you to get straightened out again?1754.5277 
1144DCA_se1_ag3_f_021755.2492I don't really know.1756.2691
1146 1756.7949Sometime the next day.1758.1686

1152 1764.9643I guess about five days1767.1228 
1154 1767.7960because1768.3701 
1156 1769.1178normally if I'm sick or something, it doesn't take me long to recuperate as long as they let me do it my way.1774.1432 
1157DCA_int_011775.1550Mm-hm.1775.8159
1159 1776.0474Good.1776.6553 
1161 1777.9577Sometimes people say that whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen.1781.3116 
1163 1781.7783What do you think about that?1783.5813 
1164DCA_se1_ag3_f_021784.4978Well I think that's- that's all in the power of God.1787.4308
1165DCA_int_011787.9313Mm-hm.1788.3896
1166DCA_se1_ag3_f_021788.8816And whichever way that1790.1856
1168 1790.5866things are- whichever way that He would have things to go, that's the just the way they are going.1794.8537 
1170 1795.8155We can't predict what's going to happen, really.1798.3161 
1171DCA_int_011800.2409What do you think about people making plans for their lives?1803.5007
1173 1804.7839Should they do that or1805.9253 
1175 1806.2322is it all no use?1807.2682 
1176DCA_se1_ag3_f_021809.5970Well I think that we can make plans for our lives, but1813.1752
1178 1813.5611I sure think that when we make them for our lives, we should leave that in the hands of God too because1818.3416 
1180 1818.6600we never know what he has in store for us.1820.7910
