To ensure that the other children didn’t feel that my brother and I were in any way more special than them, we too had to call our mother Mrs. Roy in public. Since public and private were geographically fluid zones, it wasn’t always easy to switch. For us school was home and home was school, so we erred often and sometimes she was Mrs. Roy in private, too—“Excuse me, Mrs. Roy…” To me she still is more Mrs. Roy than mother. She felt it necessary to demonstrate that she had no favorites, so she was especially punitive with us, her own children. We were often punished for what others had done.
