26. Nothing beats a Coal Miners lunch pail!

My Mom had to pack me something in my Dad's lunch bucket to take to the mine and bring back for me, I couldn't tell time but I knew he was coming home and would hide behind the tree and jump on his leg and he would open his lunch pail and give me a cake and the bottom had water in it and I would get a drink.
