Agrees with IJFAS, Ralph Waggener on letting children work

Work was no work because, writer says, she loved every minute of it

Marcia Shuffett writes:
I have a comment on something I read in "It's Just For A Smile". It is about young children put to work on the farm. I am old-school and even though I was raised in the city, both of my parents were raised in small rural towns. I remember my early years visiting in the summer at my grandparents and I always had the time of my life. Even when we were little our grandmother let go hunt the eggs and feed the chickens, pluck feathers, and churn butter, etc. That "work" was no work to me because I loved every minute of it. As a matter of fact, I think our young people would be a lot healthier and happier if they spent most of their time outdoors when the weather is pretty and that does not mean taking an IPod along. - Marcia Shuffett
