Kaye's mom moved to Oakland and was an interior decorator. She used to come over and see us. One day we all went over to Golden Gate Park to see the Japanese Tea Gardens. It was a Sunday and the Park was very busy. A band was playing in the center. We were going to cross the road to the Tea Garden. A mounted policeman stopped the traffic so Marge and Cindy, who was about 3, could cross the road. Cindy was jumping and pulling on Marge's hand and tripped Marge in the middle of the road. She did a spread eagle, lost a shoe and tore her mylons and her knees were bleeding. Marge was very embarassed and to add to it all, Cindy was yelling at her for tripping her.
The summer after our freshman year, we took Marjorie with us up to Clear Lake for a weekend camping trip. Cindy was about 2 years old. Cathy was 5 years old. We only had army pup tents, it was our first family camping trip. We had a great time. During the trip we decided to eat at a little cafe in Clear Lake. Cindy was acting up and Marge gave her a dirty look. Cindy said to Marge, "You asshole." It really embarrassed Marge and she slid in her chair. We ignored Cindy, so she said, "Grandma, you asshole!" super loud so everyone in the cafe could hear it. We had a great memory and a great laugh.
