“You can’t never do t’ings right in school.”
“The boss he never hits yer, er slaps yer face, er pulls yer ears, er makes yer stay in at recess.”
“The children don’t holler at ye and call ye a Christ-killer in a factory.”
“They don’t call ye a Dago.”
“They’re good to you at home when you earn money.”
“You can go to the nickel show.”
“Yer folks don’t hit ye so much.”
“You can buy shoes for the baby.”
“You can give your mother yer pay envelope.”
“Our boss he never went to school.”
