“I dressed and went into the kitchen. Daddy was sitting at the table eating breakfast and Mama was standing over the stove, cooking. Both of them were already dressed. Daddy was wearing his long-sleeve gray khaki shirt and a pair of gray khaki pants and Mama had on a long white dress that she wore to work and an old plain apron about her waist and a plain white rag covering her head.
