I don't know if we were ever told to make sure we had on clean underwear when we went out before this one. Betty Story and I must have been about 11 & 12 yrs. old. Betty had gone to the beach with us and spent the night - a Tuesday during summer. Auntie Lois (Aunt Elois - say it fast) closed the shop on Wednesday and Sunday. When she got up at 6:00 am she decided to come surprise us and have breakfast. She put on a coat over her baby doll PJ's and arrived at our door a little before 6:30 am. It was a great surprise and we had a splendid morning. After breakfast when we were getting dressed (She had grabbed clothes to put on at our house) she realized she had forgotten underwear. of course the teasing from her little sister Kate started and she was reminded that if she got in an accident she would have not underwear! Undaunted she said she would be fine with her pj bottoms, and continued on with Betty to do some shopping. Just a few blocks from home after shopping (they had bought some little figurines to put in the beauty shop) they were hit by a mac truck. This was one of the rare times that it was fortunate that it was in the days before seat belts. The car was squashed. They were both thrown free and only received scrapes and bruises. Auntie Lois ended up on the median of High Way 39 with the skirt of her dress torn off and in her baby dolls! Again she was teased by her little sister. But after that we were reminded about having underwear - I am not sure anyone cared if it was that clean.
