My twelve-year-old daughter and I were driving to La Esperanza to clean the church building today, when we passed a woman standing by the car of a man who was leering at her. She was not dressed like a lady, and her laughter as we went by was garish and loud. It reminded me of a proverb about the "strange" woman, which I quoted to Jessica.
"She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house."
To which Jessica responded, agast, "Yeah, her feet are abiding about six or eight inches above the ground!"
This made me laugh. She was talking about the woman's really high-heeled shoes.
