After school, we did homework, washed clothes, prepared dinner, cut the grass, and tutored the neighborhood children.... , children of today have it too easy.

"Girl, what you complainin' 'bout? When I was your age, we had to walk 20 miles IN THE SNOW. Now, I only had one button on my coat and my GOOD socks had holes in 'em. Do ya think I ever said a mumblin' word?"
I guess he was teaching me HUMILITY
