Title: Barber Shop
"My papa had a barber shop for a while. It was very, very small. It was open mostly on Saturdays so the men could get a haircut for church on Sunday. When he closed it, the men would come to our house to get a haircut, but Mama didn't put up with that for long. She told Papa that he spent a few minutes cutting hair and getting a little money for it and then she had to take time to clean all the hair off the porch and didn't get anything for it!"
