I too did not know that we were "the poor". We were usually enthusiastic about helping with fundraisers that raised money to help the "less fortunate".

We were so poor, Momma couldn't afford to give us laxatives when we were bound up - that's constipated - she'd sit us on the pottie and tell us ghost stories. That way we'd be scared and cleaned out at the same time.
