Anyone who had to pick cotton for a living, never had a chance to pick anything else. Well, at least one person picked picking cotton when offered this as an alternative to house work. One of the former slaves I listened to on the other site said she'd much rather be outdoors where she could be out in the good air and maybe get a breeze, more than you could in the kitchen.
My God, aren't we thankful that we live in the world we live in today? Just thinking of what some people went through back then, such as maybe wondering whether they'd get enough, or even anything, to eat, makes some of the things I like to fuss about seem--below petty.
