It is a beautiful image, that of your mother shaving the soup. I don't know why. It just sits in my mind like a black and white photo I've had the luck to discover in someone else's attic. Thank you.

Parents can't afford to keep children clean in those commy contries in Europe. When this started (long time ago) people were making they own soap, washing clothes by hand or with some old beat up machine. Dirt is hard to get off when you don't have Tide and a washing machine. That is why growing up we had clothes to play outside and clothes to dress up. You get your ass beat if you play with school clothes because your parents can't afford to buy new ones till the next school year or till you out grow them. I am not even 40 and I can remember when I was little seeing my mom shaving homemade soap into a old washing machine that pretty much spinned the clothes in circle; and she had to handwash each peace of clothing. She would repeat over and over: You must try and stay clean. It's all about money :) You should get a job so you can support your self. No one is afraid of dirt.
