The other day at lunch time Mom was reading from Proverbs 21. We were reading verse 19, which says, “Better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and angry woman.”
We have heard that verse lots of times… and the thought is repeated throughout Proverbs. We know what it means.
Well, in the mind of a ten-year-old boy who would live outside if he could, this verse took on a literal meaning. It went something like this…
“Of course. I want to live in the wilderness anyways, so why don’t I just forget about the woman? No woman will want to live in the wilderness anyways.”
Problem solved. The wilderness always wins.
You will never have to deal with a contentious woman if you just don’t have one? Right?
I love little people logic. Sometimes it just makes total sense…
It is also a warning for us though. Ladies, don’t ever be that woman. EVER. Men, be careful in who you marry. Don’t marry a woman who is going to get under your skin every day.
