Amy's Original Sin

All the recent comments about women and ambition have me thinking about our changing roles:

Amy’s Original Sin

I worked for the Fort Wayne phone company till I married Earl.

Let the woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.

I nearly burned down the house when a fire I started in that field over there got out of control.

I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

If you want a clean stove, wipe it down with a paper towel to clean the sponge streaks.

Since the fall of Adam all people who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin.

I’ll just climb up into the hayloft and get you some dishes. There’s a whole set of old flowered plates, cups, and saucers up there.

Men are gifted by God to be husbands and fathers; women are gifted by God

to be wives and mothers.

You can have these panties and camisole from my daughter, too. Her husband had a stroke ya know and quit doing operations.

We are full of evil lusts and unable by nature to have a true fear or faith of God.

If ya want, we can go to the ice cream social at the “misery” synod. It’s homemade.

This inborn sickness and hereditary sin condemns all of those who are not born again to the eternal wrath of God.

Yep, that’s our well water. Smells like rotten eggs, doesn’t it?
