    3. Speaking of smelly lunches, my older sister loved paw paws better than anything. She said they must have been the strongest smelling food there was, for when she carried her Bob White Syrup pail in the kids would say, "Teacher, Fern's got them stinkin' paw paws again." My mother went to grade school to her older sister. Mom said she would sometimes get so hungry she couldn't stand it. One day she took a chestnut from her pocket and ate it in class. Sister spanked her, then told her parents and they spanked her too. She said it was years before she could have a good feeling toward the sister again. And she still remembers the incident each time she has a chestnut......eighty-some years later.
