MARTIN LUTHER

WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MAMIE CLEANED OUR HOUSE EVERY TWO
WEEKS. SHE WAS THE ONLY NON-CATHOLIC, IT SEEMS, I
KNEW. MAMIE USED VINEGAR AND WATER TO WASH WINDOWS
AND I USED TO ASK HER WHY SHE DIDN'T USE "WINDEX"
OR SOMETHING I WOULD SEE IN A MAGAZINE. SHE TOLD ME
SINCE SHE WAS LUTHERAN AND OUR DUST WAS CATHOLIC,
SHE HAD TO USE VINEGAR BLESSED BY MARTIN LUTHER.
