when I was sweet sixteen

At sweet sixteen, I had a job at a supermarket Worked after school until nine my boyfriend worked at a competing grocery at a quarter until nine he came over and sacked to get me out of there sooner People said "Joe, aren't you at the wrong store?" This was a small town. On weekends I babysat. Back in the day we were paid $1.25 at the grocery store. Babysitting paid a quarter an hour for six children. I was not getting rich, but I was getting experience and money for college.
