Yellow Raincoat

Graham's wife Mary Lou didn't hardly never get out of the house. She had her own car but she only drove to the doctor; never to the grocery store or nowhere else. Ever body knew when she were out and around 'cause she never wore nothing but a yellow raincoat outfit. I mean on the outside, of course, she wore some kind of clothes underneath. Her medicines was delivered from a drug store what her daddy owned and where Graham worked as bookkeeper. Graham had to do all the shopping and word were out that Mary Lou gave him a tough time. All this happened in the 1950's and ended up in a real hard way. Next time I'll talk about Graham and the writing class.
