That's cuz I grew up with just boys for 8 years, lol! 2 brothers and no girls to play with on the block makes one kinda scrappy, conservagramma (pffft! Thirstyman, like I could EVER put either of you and Rev to shame! :)
Once upon a time, even though I was a total light weight shrimp, and tried all I could to get out of fighting with the bully girl of my jr. high, who miscalculated my meekness/shrimpyness as cowardice, she learned the truth. Even though she was bigger and meaner than me, and even though I tried to get out of the fight she was provoking, fight her I did and after one of my hard punches broke one of her fingers, she left me alone happily ever after. (But we both got called into Principals office LOL).
Ha ha ha!! Well thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. We knew the scrappiness was in there and we admired it.
Like you say, no excuse not to use plenty of the honey first, before reaching for the vinegar. But when the vinegar is being called for? by all means, serve it up!
Vinegar is like Popeye and his can of spinach. Sometimes it gets the job done.
