All I said was,
Would you ever consider wearing trousers instead of skirts? They'd keep you cosy and warm.
And she said,
I dinnae want tae weer troosers.
Later she said,
C'meer. I want tae tell you something.
And I said,
What do you want to tell me?
And she said,
It says in the bible, somewheer, that a man shouldnae weer weemin's clothes nor a woman weer men's clothes for it is an abomination unto the Lord.
And I said,
That's a load of hooey.
And she narrows her eyes and says,
D'ye think so?
And I say,
It says a lot of stuff in the bible I'd pay no heed to and neither do you.
And she says,
Oh?
And I say,
Well you eat bacon and you didn't have Bert circumcised. And when did you last make a sacrifice at the temple?
She says,
I'll hae to hear what Mr Uprichard has to say about it.
And I say,
Ask him if he'd like us to bring a goat over for him to sacrifice?

You might want to point out that nobody wore trousers in the bible. As far as we know, anyway. The decision that trousers carried a "men only" label was made many years later.
I printed her out some articles on that topic (complete with Bible refs) for her to peruse at her leisure. She's a stubborn old stick but as bright as a button and enjoys the debate. BTW I only put it on my blog when (I think) I've won. She gets the beter of me more often than not.
Nelly, that woman certainly keeps you on your toes!
Keep battling!
Someday I'll tell you about Addy's last purchase of cigarettes...
Ronni - sounds like it could be good!
Grannymar - Pearlie continues to fight the good fight.
