Sugar Daddy




I have to beat Rose at posting this as we both remember it well. We lived at 135 Renida Street near the cemetery and the Vallejo Auto Movies. Doris, our mother, knew Fred who lived in a trailer at the drive-in and was a caretaker. He gave her free passes. So it was common to dress in pajamas under our clothes, take our own snacks and treats, and go to the movies. One night Mom was sucking on a Sugar Daddy candy pop and started laughing at the movie. When she took the candy stick out of her mouth both upper and lower false teeth were attached. I may have been five or six years old at the time and have never forgotten our laughter over this.
