When I was a kid, I used to think that the lyrics for Kenny Rogers' "Lucille" were, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, 400 children and a rotten Big Wheel," instead of, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, 4 hungry children and a crop in the field." I really used to think what could be worse than having to take care of 400 hundred children by yourself with only 1 crappy Big Wheel? Honestly, Kenny's woes pale in comparison.
