Good Morning Children Good Morning Children! Today I am going to raffle some bananas I remember the first time I saw a banana, it was while I was under the " tender care " of the Sisters of Charity. And it seems somebody had donated a whole box of bananas to them. Obviously there wasn't enough bananas to go around over 200 hundred children so they decided to raffle a few of the bananas. Their " Pets " had already received a banana each and were busy scoffing...

We'd start marching to the fields in pairs at 9:30am and would arrive at the fields at 10:00am or so. We'd be in the fields sometimes until 8:00 pm, depending on how much was to be harvested. Most days we finished at 4:30pm and we'd be marched back for our "tea" of Skinners, dripping and a mug...

A DAY IN THE LIFE 1958: There is nothing these nuns hate more than the insolence of a child.
