Title: Outhouse at Emanis Dog Trot
"We did not have indoor plumbing so we had to have an outhouse. I was maybe 11 or 12 for this story and not very big. I had to push off with my feet to jump up on the seat of the outhouse and when I did I pushed a nail head into my foot and was hung. I hollered for Mother and she said that she was busy and come to her. I yelled back that I couldn't because I was hung on a nail in the outhouse. As Mother always did, she came to my rescue, unhung me, and doctored my foot."
