They're asking for some handles for the chest of drawers so they don't have to wear their PJs to school tomorrow.

God bless any and all Brooklyn Dodgers references here!

It looks like these are the Caputos: James and Antoinette, from the 1940 Census. They lived at 795 Hicks Street.

From the Census:

Their parents were James (aged 32 in 1942) and Angelina (30), and were both born in New York. The family had been living in this building since at least 1935. James was a helper on commercial ships -- most likely at the shipyard at the Erie Basin, only a few minutes' walk from their apartment.

As a helper, James earned $1,146 the previous year, and while we don't know if it was a typical week, he worked 50 hours the week prior to the census. Interesting that the crane operator listed immediately after him (and probably his neighbor) earned more ($1,248) working only 25 hours the prior week.

Mrs. Caputo is quite a homemaker. Everything is as neat as a pin, including Annette and Jimmy, seen here (and who I could not find in the 1940 Census). The drapes in this bedroom were, no doubt, made by her, as were the drapes in the family room. We've now seen half, two, of the four and a half rooms in this apartment. The bedspread here is made from the same bolt of cloth as the curtains. Mrs. Caputo also crochets, takes care of that furball on the family room floor, and is probably a talented cook. Let's hope Mr. Caputo is a TV show husband.

She's the same age as my mom, who was living in Baltimore at this time. My grandfather built Liberty ships. Echoes through the years.

Why is the Holy Family a model for all families? Internally, what distinguished them were their holy hearts and their close personal relationship with God. It is this that has given them lasting greatness. It is this that motivates us to look at them as a model family. They illustrate God's plan for a family, the Nuclear Family, which modern society now seems intent on abolishing.

I'll be very pleasantly surprised to see my comment included, thanks Dave if you do.

… finish their prayers last.
