Later they (Sis and Laurence) moved into the Smith House which was across the street from the little adobe house that I was born in . They were living there during World War II. Laurence was deferred from the draft because he was a farmer.
Sis and Laurence's first son, Larry, was born while they lived there. Sis was 20 years old. Dad and Mom and I had moved to the Thurgeson House at this time. Sis and Laurence used to play "Hearts" with their friends. One of their favorite songs was "Peg of My Heart". I would be over to Sis' house and Laurence would come home for lunch each day. They would go in the bedroom to take a nap (ha! ha!). I was so bored because I had to sit there with no one to talk to.
When Larry came along, I would be at her house visiting there. I would sit there reading a magazine and she would take Larry's wet diaper and slap me in the face with it. I would forget about it and before you knew it, she would do it again.
Laurence had bought a new green International pick up. One day I was going to move his Farmall Tractor and as I'm passing his new pickup, I noticed it was moving along with me. I hadn't realized that the axle on the rear wheels stuck out further than the tires. One axel had hooked on the fender of the pickup and had put a nice dent in it. Laurence was chewing Sis out for denting the truck and she was denying it. I didn't dare tell him I had done it. I don't think he ever found out.
