The Strawberry Baby By Wanda Simms
In the spring of May 1971, my older cousin Lilly, who was weeks from having her baby, took me on a bus trip to the Farmers Market downtown St. Louis. It was a warm sunny day and as usual, the fruit was eye pleasing to an 8yr old, the strawberries smelled so...oo, good, and I wanted to taste one as I always did when granny and I came here.
I reached out picked up one and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious. I finished it off and got one more to eat on the bus ride home. I put it in the top right pocket of my jacket.
I turned around and there was Lilly telling me it was time to go home. As we walked towards the exit, the stand attendant, an older Italian gentleman, came running and screaming “stop”,” stop”, that little girl stole a strawberry! Lilly quickly turned around and in a startled voice said “what”? He repeated that little girl stole a strawberry! I said, no I didn’t! I ate one, and he said it is in her pocket, Lilly checked me, and there it was a big juicy strawberry in my top right pocket. Boy was she scared and mad. The stand attendant said to me pointing his finger angrily at me , if you ever steal my fruit again I will call the police on you , I said sobbing with tears, I won’t do it again I am sorry. The bus ride home was very gloomy, Lilly cried the whole time clutching her stomach as if it was a purse. The next day when I arrived home from school, Granny informed me that Lilly had the baby, it was a beautiful girl, but she was 2 weeks early because of the big scare on yesterday, I felt sad, but granny said she was just fine and for me not to worry. I wanted to go see the baby, but granny said not until they came home from the hospital.
That was May 14, 1971 and to this day, we call her the Strawberry Baby. The family tells that story during holiday gatherings to this day, and each new generation gets to laugh about how I stole a strawberry and caused Lilly to go into early labor, and the importance of teaching our children, that while at the grocery store, unless it is a free sample, we must buy it.
