Pithy? So you are an old softy inside as in the inner core of a plant then
eh? hahahahahaha. Somehow I don't think that is your intended use of the
word. Looking at Proverbs 31 it doesn't give the impression a woman/wife is
the sit at home, bare feet up, and knit booties for the baby she's about
to have. But rather an intrical and active part of running a household
which obviusly looking at the tasks depicted in Proverbs 31 would require
some sureness and confidence and outspokenness on her part. Sassy now that
might be different shame shame shame ahahaha.
