"I applied for food stamps, it was called food stamps then, and when I found a job substitute teaching, we were getting $132 a month for the two of us (her and her mother) and they dropped it to $39 a month. Needless to say I were beserk on her. I worked two or three days out of that month and they took that into consideration but that was not for my benefit, that was for my mother."
