I was about 10 years old, my sister was 16 years old. Once again mom and dad had left Jerry to babysit us on a Friday night. Jerry was with one of her friends. My younger brother was spending the night with one of his friends so I was the sole anchor around my sister that prevented her from having a night cruising the strip of Coeur d'Alene.
Jerry and her friend dressed me sexy, they padded a bra, put make up on me and curled my hair. It was so exciting. They set me in the back seat of the old Hudson hornet, I was too short so they set me on two pillows.
I was under strict orders not to speak. I remember the lipstick felt thick but I liked the mascara. We cruise the strip of Coeur d'Alene, played the radio loud and talked to others on the strip. I never spoke once but I finally felt included in my sister's life. So for me at 10 years old it was a good night.
