Cotton Days

I was talking to my Mother (Euna) on Memorial Day and she told me about babysitting the neighbor's baby when she was young. Her mother was asked by the neighbor if Euna could set for her baby while she went to the fields to chop cotton.  She told me that she was very scared being with that baby alone with everyone gone and in a strange house.  She said she became
 so frightened that she carried the baby out into the cotton patch and gave her back to the lady.

My Mother was 6 years old at the time. She said she saw the "baby" the other day and she is now "89". Mother is 95.
