Paullina Simons Quotes

Alexander Speaks. Anthony, I'm Going To Tell You Something. In 1941, When I Met Your Mother, She Had Turned Seventeen And Was Working At The Kirov Factory, The Largest Weapons Production Facility In The Soviet Union. Do You Know What She Wore? A Ratty Brown Cardigan That Belonged To Her Grandmother. It Was Tattered And Patched And Two Sizes Too Big For Her. Even Though It Was June, She Wore Her Much Larger Sister's Black Skirt That Was Scratchy Wool. The Skirt Came Down To Her Shins. Her Too-big Thick Black Cotton Stockings Bunched Up Around Her Brown Work Boots. Her Hands Were Covered In Black Grime She Couldn't Scrub Off. She Smelled Of Gasoline And Nitrocellulose Because She Had Been Making Bombs And Flamethrowers All Day. And Still I Came Every Day To Walk Her Home.
