When I was young, I puzzled over the meaning of words and phrases grownups used such as, “She’s a widow. Her late husband died in their living room.”
How could someone be a “window”? Why was her husband killed for being “late”? How could he die in their “living” room?
And: How could our one nation be “invisible”? Why was Mary “full of grapes”? Did baby Jesus wear “Fruit of the Loom?”
