[dropcap]I[/dropcap] reckon I should toss a few pennies in the thunder pot in regards to that poor gal who became so offended when she saw some decoration with a stem of cotton at Hobby Lobby. Somehow, just by seeing cotton, she felt threatened and was reminded of a time hundreds of years ago when slaves had to pick cotton. She demanded that the cotton decoration be removed. I don’t know what Hobby Lobby did to placate this thin-skinned woman. Maybe they gave her a gift card so she can purchase a new pair of drawers that won’t chafe her butt. They’d have to be silk undies, though.
Okay, if she wants to protest the use of cotton, then I think she should go all in. She should boycott all things made of cotton. Gather all her clothes and linens made of southern-grown cotton and burn them in her front yard. I’m sure she can look stunning in polyester and rayon. And after her bath, instead of using soft cotton towels, she can dry off with a jumbo roll of paper towels.
No more cleaning out her ears with Q-tips. There’re lots of other items that will fit in the human ear, so she shouldn’t have trouble with accumulated ear wax. I personally like using my house key. It can get out the hard stuff, plus the wax is a good lubricant for your door locks.
