[Tell It Right]

Years ago at the dinner table my brother poked fun at my mother, saying she probably rode to school in a horse-drawn wagon. My father, who rarely spoke up, said, "She probably didn't. But I did."

We've laughed on that for decades. LOL

Ain’t that the truth. Rigging and hitching up a horse to a wagon was certainly part of the male’s task domain. Not that I have anything against the idea of women performing it; but, you know, back then they just wouldn’t have typically done that. Men wouldn’t have been caught sticking their nose in the kitchen, and women wouldn’t have stuck their nose in the stables. It is just the facts of history...good or bad, like it or leave it.
