Anaphora - We

We lived in Sayreton.

We are the Rowell family: Willie, Alberta, Nora Mae, Jean and James.

We lived across the track from Mrs. Nichols store which I could see from the house where we lived. I was three and the middle child, James and Nora Mae, one younger, one older.

We lived in a possibly three or four bedroom house.

We the five of us: my daddy, my mama, sister, brother, and me lived in a house together.

We laughed, we talked, we ate, and we played.

We had fun.

We had no toys, I think.

We had a box cut from the top and bottom.

We rolled down the hill both James and I minus Nora, I think.

We, the children, watched television until it was time to go to bed.

We did not know when Daddy and Mama went to bed because we, the children, were asleep.

We, the children, loved kindergarten, I think – but I did.

We, the children, did not fight each other – I don’t think.

We, the children, were ages 2, 4, and six.

We, my entire family in 1958 welcomed a new baby in the family, my sister – Cotrie.

We moved to a new house across the tracks and met new people in the neighborhood.

We, the Rowell family, had lots of fun - together.
