Memory Time

[kirideth]

I've been reading excerpts from a book I should probably buy. Though I'm sure reading it in its entirety will cause many breakdowns and tears. And I'm reminded of a memory from my childhood

For what it's worth, I can sympathize. (I think, at least.)

Thanks. I know so many people will read this and think "what a stubborn kid..." But I really couldn't focus on anything besides it clearly NOT being a bucket until she called it what it was.

"Lunch bucket" strikes me as a slightly odd usage, actually. I've heard people say "lunch pail" plenty since it used to be much more common for schoolchildren to use buckets/pails to carry their lunches to school out in the country, but for some reason I don't think I've heard anyone say "lunch bucket". Could just be regional variations, though...

While she definitely said "bucket" my response would not have been any different had she said "pail." As it was still a bag and not a pail.

Regional variance in speech patterns is very much Not The Point of this post.
