Why is cotton in everything? - Michael R. Stiff?

Cotton is everywhere because it’s soft, strong, and easy to work with, just like your favorite pajamas.

Imagine you have a big bag of cotton balls. Each one is fluffy, like the clouds in the sky. Now, think about how those cotton balls can be turned into something else, like a shirt or pants. That’s what happens when people take cotton and weave it together, just like braiding your hair.

Cotton is friendly to the skin, so it doesn’t itch like some other fabrics. It also absorbs water, which means if you spill juice on your shirt, it won’t make a big mess, it’ll just soak it up, like a sponge.

Also, cotton is easy to grow and doesn’t break easily, so people use it for all kinds of things, from socks to jackets. It’s like the superhero fabric that can be anywhere you need it!
