The sky is white, purple and grey with strips of pale, fairy tale blue like cornflowers. My grandfather once told me that when the sun shines and it rains, the Devil is beating his wife. I wonder what kind of woman the Devil's wife is.

Yesterday I went to my writing group and wrote something for the first time in a month. It felt good to toss it off the top of my head.

I have bad dreams.

I wonder what kind of woman the Devil's wife is.

I'm guessing she isn't the brightest bulb in the box.

That's a distinct possibility. But did she meet him before the Fall? Did she follow him down, or did they find each other in darkness?

I have been reading too much lately.

Those are provocative questions, indeed.

I think you should write a story about it.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Maybe I will.

the Devil is beating his wife

I always thought that was the weirdest idiom when I would hear it as a kid. I think it's one of those inexplicable Texan things.

I bet the devil's wife is sexy, but has codependency issues.

Good to know I'm not the only one who remembers it!

Another possibility. I think we need an anthology of stories about the Devil's wife...

That could be a totally interesting undertaking, for sure.

I think the devil's wife is named Bruce and he is a S&M "bear". Just ask any Shrubite and they will say homosexuality is evil, therefore, the devil has to be gay, just like in South Park.

BWhahahah. That story really needs to be told. ;)
