Row with Olive about buns.  I threw one at her.  ((At this time there was still a flour ration, and we each had a bread bun every day.  Of course they weren't exactly of uniform size, so we used to take it in turns having first choice from our room's supply.  On this day, I thought it was my turn to choose, so took the best one; but Olive insisted it was HER turn, so we had a fierce argument, then I threw my bun at her - it hit her on the face... I felt so ashamed afterwards, and we all wept.))
