Yes. The mother was quite clean, thank God. As soon as we came - we're still a long gone school, we must always help with the cleaning, because it otherwise .. Mama would have done so not with all the children. We always had an early start to clean the floors. The mother was actually clean, but just we have been patched, but thank God clean. .. Lice were then on the move, again and again. And since Mom has always seen that we have not had aphids. We have been here and there which brought home, they gave us kerosene done on the head. That was then. And once she gave us quite firmly with such a Louse-comb, - he was called - .. combed. Now of course the skin was irritated, and then they gave us draufgetan Petroleum. Then we had the next day such faces, yes, all swollen. But it is then it all went away again. We have had a bowl or a wooden tub. Wooden vats, it has also given. And since we have the mom .. some warm water and poured into a cold mean that it was a bit warm halt. And since we have to wash ourselves. And when we went a bit older, we have washed ourselves so much. As we have always made more water on Saturday night and have had a larger bucket, one Schaff. And there we are then - as we have poured into water and are then in the tub into it. But no - we have not been together in the kitchen. Everybody has to wait until the other was washed. We did not! No, the mom said no, we can not, we bare it all alongside the others. Yes, that's already been a bit exaggerated, seemed to me. But since then we have always washed himself clean. Yes. We are clean, thank God - the mom has kept us clean.
