Some parts are bigger than others. No small parts, only small actors, or so they say

Growing up on a small farm, you were working from a very early age, you just weren't getting paid. The freedom was payment enough, and we got fed, occasionally.

The first regular task was milking the cows, I suppose. It gave me a life long love of squeezing tits.
