Southern Quote of The Day: Don’t Fatten the Frog for the Snake

I remember having a conversation with my coworker several years back about what was going on with an aquaintance. In other words…Gossip! At the end of the conversation, she stated,  “Mama always said don’t fatten the frog for the snake!” She must have seen the puzzled look on my face so she explained what it meant. In layman’s terms, it means to never build up something for it to blindsidely taken from you.

This quote crossed my mind today because as women, we can can put so much time, care and concern into a man to build his ego and status. Sometimes all that effort is later afforded to another woman leaving youlike a baker without a taste.
