K: Yeah. Change well you know both my parents were very welcoming to new people who who would show up at any time. Oh I will always remember that. #0:8:34.6#
M: Open door.. #0:8:34.6#
K: Open door. You know someone showed up at dinner time, we all just shifted around and you know we were, we didn't have a lot of money, we were poor, so food was high (laughs) so a little more soup, a little more water in the soup, and you know we would all share around. So they were always very welcoming. That, I don't think that has ever changed, but I think with with with sort of I don't know what, the awakening or what are we calling this trend, change in dad. Well anyway that that time, then people started, then he started having people live with us, and that was you know that obviously shifted the dynamic, but by then I'm the only one home. #0:9:27.9#
