What did do as a kid to earn money ?

Start colts.
Then in '64 I turned 16 and parents gave me a 49 Chevy. I ran good enough, usually to get to school and my job at the A & P Grocery every afternoon 'cept Mon and 12-13 hrs every Sat!
Ma worked at the County tag and tax office and when I would break down and the county cops found it sitting side the road after I caught a ride to school, they would complain to her and she would fully ***** them out!!!!!!
