The Little Red Hen...ever think about easy we really have it?

[Kurt]

Reminds me of what my hillbilly grandma taught me. I spent a summer with her when I was ten years old. She taught me how to use a shotgun and how to hunt. She said "Never miss!" in such a way that I took it very seriously.

Next day she sent me out in the woods to hunt. She said "Don't Miss!" and gave one shotgun shell. Long story shot, I missed.

When I told my grandma that I missed. She said "I guess it is only vegetables tonight."

I pulled out a stringer of fish hidden on the front porch. Grandma smiled. She loved fish.

I think about the household things my grandmother had in the 60s. We've made a lot of improvements but most things we have today there was something that could do it back then. Like a microwave. It's been invented since then but there were still ovens that could cook.

The only thing I can really think of that we have now that she do then was computer/Net/smartphone....maybe a vcr/tivo.
