How often have I heard this statement? Numerous times and each time it is connected to Mary Surratt. Mary Surratt? She was the first woman hanged in the United States. The reason: she operated a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth conspired with several others to kidnap and harm then President Lincoln. What a crime! The only explanation that was stated at the time is that she owned the "nest" where the "vipers" met to conspire.
So, my daughter, on the cusp of teen queendom, suggested that the modern day "nest of vipers" could be a bra! She figures that if 3 strings and a band aid could be women's "underthings" then a bra is a nest of 2 vipers. Ah, the musings of youth...
Well, I need to pull up my bandaid and readjust my vipers and continue forth!
