Belly Lore - False Professions
The following is a favorite excerpt of mine from "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee:
"...ladies, bathed before noon, after their three-o-clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."
This reminded me, somehow, of the thin glaze of sugar left behind on my countertops after my son was left to clean up after cookie making.
"...ladies, bathed before noon, after their three-o-clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."
