Class

This morning I was thinking about social classes . . . you know: lower, middle, upper. I remember my mother feeling as though she never "belonged" because she was raised in a poor family during the depression years. It was difficult for her to feel as though she fit in with folks whose primary bread winner was a white color worker.

I don't have those feelings. Perhaps society has changed. Perhaps I've changed.

I remember how hard she tried to fit in though and that often resulted in people's perception that she "put on airs".
