Real Women Sweat

My goodness but its hot I'm wringing wet. "Women perspire," he said, "only men sweat." Well, guess again buddy maybe la-de-dah ladies perspire, but Real Women sweat and right now I'm on fire. In high school my mother would take me to the beauty parlor to get me a fancy dance doo and then later I'd hollar Because after a dance or two, my hair would be dripping wet. I was so embarrassed all covered with sweat. Air conditioning is just too cold and it smells funny, so I sit in front of a fan when it gets too sunny. But running out for chores in 90-degree heat is no fun at all I just come home beat. So you'all have a good summer ... and I still say it yet ... that ladies may perspire, but Real Women sweat.
