Peg Kerr's Journal

I did not live in those circs, but I lived in a very small house with far too many people--especially when half-siblings showed up and needed to be shoehorned in. my sister and I fought hideously. I too learned to hang at the library, and in a tree--my sister, the popular one, ended up spending a lot of time at her friends'. So I sympathize with the girls' wish for more space...and I sometimes think if we'd just had cubbies dividing our room so we had the semblance of privacy, and our own things there and a bit of our own taste instead of everything-shared-everything-pink, we would have done better.
