Education in the family

And in general did you have the family principals of upbringing? How you were educated in the childhood? What were you allowed to do and what weren’t you allowed?

I do not know how we were brought up, but we … I remember, well here. That is so torn in memory, well, in general in kindergarten we were brought up properly. We didn’t have food there. The caregivers were not bad. I remember these wooden cots, we put them one next to one and slept. And slept, we did not fight somehow. That’s what I remember. So what. How were we brought up? Our grandma, Hawa, in general, was not to fool with. She was strict. She was illiterate. When I went to first grade, and she received pension, and I taught her to sign – three letters. She said, «How hard it is to write, it is worse than even mow!» That’s how she … well, she just learned to write these three letters.
