An acquired taste
Poor child didn't have a chance. They were plying her with alcohol while merely a babe. I think we were with the Kirkpatricks when this picture was taken. What with the sizes of our two families, it was easy for Jimmy to slip Mary a glass of champagne unnoticed. She didn't take to it right away but got over that soon enough. There's another picture of Mary, three or four, wearing a one piece blue bathing suit, hand on hip, head back, preparing to take a drag on a cigarette. Again, and I know it seems like I pick on Jimmy all the time, provided by Jimmy. For all I know, he wasn't even there, but when I look at the picture, it screams "Jimmy."
