One of my greatest regrets in life is looking back at how many times as a kid I listened to "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers trying to figure out if it was "four HUNGRY children" or "four HUNDRED children". Plus additional hours in bed and in showers wondering how it would be possible to have four hundred children. Did they run an orphanage? A labour camp?
I want to go back in time and reassure Little Me and say "It's ok, buddy, you're just dumb."
@JeffreyMHebert I always knew it was 4 hungry children, but it's way more fun to sing it as 400 children.
I just have this image of a downtrodden, harried guy at the door where Lucille is shacked up, 400 kids behind him, and her taking off like a shot out the back window, and _I don't blame her!_.
@AskTheDevil I did the same thing! I just couldn't wrap my tiny brain around the whole concept, but I was like "Well I reckon that's why his big hands were calloused, raising that many kids is a massive job."
@JeffreyMHebert Are we sure he want talking about Nick Cannon?
