I used to pick berries at a very young age. Used to get scratched up like crazy, but the worst was when you freaked out the beehive and got stung to shit. We weren't allowed to stop picking until our quota was fulfilled. It was tough work and the pay was terrible. Two entire Coolwhip containers and all I got was a piece of blackberry pie that grandma made.

Family farm? We were on the side of the road next to the airport.
