Default What One Lesson Did You Learn as a Paperboy?

I could name many lessons I learned.

But one lesson I learned is how other people live. I would collect on Friday night and Saturday morning. If it was cold out, people would invite me in. I could smell their houses and apartments. See if they were the neat and tidy type. Until I was a paperboy, I didn't think anyone put on their pajamas until it was time to go to bed. I also thought the first thing people did in the morning was get dressed. I was wrong about that too.

I never met any papergirls, so no offense meant.

ps I delivered the Jersey Journal.
