THAT'S THE SALVE THAT SOOTHES THE SORE
MY GRANDMOTHER THOMPSON, SHE WAS A GREAT ONE FOR PROVERBS, SHE
HAD ONE FOR EVERY OCCASION. ONE SHE SAID A LOT WAS
"THAT'S THE
SALVE THAT SOOTHES THE SORE." SHE'D SAY IT AT ANY TIME, IF
THERE WAS A GOOD MEAL SET BEFORE YOU OR IF SOMEBODY
SAID SOMETHING THAT PLEASED YOU.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT'S GRANDMOTHER WAS A PRUDISH, VERY RELIGIOUS AND MORAL
WOMAN.
