When | was growing up in Los Angeles during the 1950s, my. father and I would occasionally hang out at the restaurant until her shift ended, and then we'd ride the bus home with her. Sometimes she worked the register and the counter, and we sat there; when she waited booths and tables, we found a booth in the back where the waitresses took their breaks. There wasn’t much for a,child to do at the restaurants, and so as the hours stretched out, I watched the cooks and waitresses and listened to what they said.
