“Kenny gave her the trailer as a wedding present, she said. She would’ve preferred a set of china, maybe with some place settings of silver thrown in, but he had his heart set on living in a trailer. When he got out of the Navy, that is. Kenny was stationed in Tokyo, Japan, at the present. Had been for a while. He had to leave for Tokyo when the baby was only about two months old. Doris said she’d almost gone crazy for a few weeks after he left. Then she landed a job at the Bureau of Motor Vehic...les and that set her up, got her out of the house. She just put the baby in the day-care center and took off for work. Her job at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles makes Doris bad tempered, she said. Everyone at the bureau is bad tempered. They don’t get jobs there if they’re not. Doris smiled when she told me these things so I’d know she was only joking. Doris pays me fifteen dollars when I stay with the baby overnight. I count on that fifteen dollars. I bank every penny. Every time I sit with that little baby, I figure I’m that much closer to getting my chest operation.MoreLessRead More Read Less
