We were so poor...

When I was little we were so poor we couldn't always afford food, so Mom would sit us all down at the kitchen table and read us the recipes. I had a younger brother who was hard of hearing and he almost starved to death.

We were so poor we couldn't afford a dog, so if someone pulled up to the house we took turns running out and barking.

We were so poor Mom would take us to KFC so we could lick other people's fingers.

Go away "digger".

As poor as an Ute.

Germans, once they were so poor, they sold them as indentured labor.

My dad:
“We were so poor I had to go through poverty instead of puberty “

Luxury

We were so poor we would wear our socks upside down so we wouldn't get holes in the heels.

Barefoot - made you some moccasins.

Take it back, we don't accept charity from Indians.

Well screw you, I do.

They were adult socks; everything was bought several sizes larger so we could 'grow into them'. I was only three.....

It wasn't as bad as the shoes I also got that same year; I didn't grow into them until I was 17.

We were so poor we decorated the citchen broom with dust bunnies for our Christmas tree.

We may have been dirt poor, but we at least had cement floors! No roof, though; that cost extra.

.....we didn't live by the railroad tracks, we lived on them
.....we couldn't afford to pay attention

We were so poor, we didnt have a pot to piss in. The boys had to run outside, and the girls had to use the soup kettle
