Drive-in picture show

My parents regularly took us
To the drive-in picture shows
Every weekend we'd go there
To Barmera to watch a movie
I was 8 years old
Small for my age
Mum and dad didn't earn much
They were labourers
Picking fruit: oranges
Apricots, grapes
Whatever they were asked to do
Every Friday night we'd go out
They tried to save a few pence
Saying I was under the age to pay
They said I was seven
I was offended and piped up
"I'm eight!" 
Then I realised what I'd done
Getting them into trouble
And said: "I live in a gate!"
I remember blushing beet red
Being embarrassed 
For causing some trouble
I was just being a silly little kid!
