My earliest recollection is a lesson learned when I lived in
“I picked it. It’s for you.”
She put it on the shelf and seemed angry as she said, “They don’t belong to you. You mustn’t take things that don’t belong to you. I’ll leave it here until your father comes home. Go play in the sand box. I have to change the baby.”
I didn’t understand. I thought she would be pleased. My father would tell me when he got home. I tried to think of some other way to get my mother’s attention.
When my father came home, Mama talked with him, and then he talked with me, “Dewey. We don’t take things that don’t belong to us. That is stealing. We have to give this tomato back to Mr. Taglianti. You carry it carefully and come with me.”
“I gave it to Mama. I don’t want to give it to Mr. Taglianti.”
“It isn’t yours to give. It belongs to Mr. Taglianti. Now carry it carefully. He is in the garden now. I saw him when I came home.”
