My Grandma said that, too... so, it must be true. I figure
anyone who could scrub all the floors (on hands and
knees), wash and hang all the laundry (on a clothesline),
bake a couple of pies (from scratch), crochet an afghan
(from left over yarn), and still have dinner on the table
by 6:30 sharp must know something. I sure can't do it.

Nope, not enough for silk purse though. Your grandma's right. It can't be done at all.
Cheers and have a nice week ahead :)
PS A sow can be either a female pig or a female bear.

Your Grandma is right then. That has been said for many many years. Sort of means you cannot make some thing good out of some things.

Nope. It would be a pig leather purse. True silk comes from grub butts.

Grandma's are full of great one liners of wisdom. My favorite Grandmaism is "Some people just have more money than sense."
