To me, there was no doubt, I wanted a &#8220;Indian suit&#8221; that I had seen in Simpson&#8217;s Department store. I must&#8217;ve been very much into Indians in those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My parents and I made a poster and divided it up in two days of the week for one month. Each day had a square where I could paste in a star, when I hadn&#8217;t had a wet wet the bed for the previous night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was given a prize much less valuable if I completed three stars in a row, with the promise of my Indian suit when I had achieved a grand total of seven stars, one after the other and no Mrs. I can&#8217;t remember how much effort that was, but I&#8217;m sure one of the Indian suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you thank you\u2026 I was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am now much older, have absolutely no interest in an Indian suit, but still do not wet the bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best gifts.
