12. I have a neighbor woman like that.

79 years old and she still uses that little girl voice and plays the "I'm just a weak woman" role. She's one of those who has to constantly talk about how she's a Catholic. I was cutting branches off a tree one time and she came over to tell me, in that little girl voice, "I'll tell you a little secret. If you act dumb like you don't know how to do stuff like that, you can get a man to do it for you." I just said to her, "I'm not dumb and I would never act dumb just to get somebody to do something for me."

I cringe when I see an under-30 woman wearing the ankle long prairie dress and she has her little girls with her and they have matching dresses.
