Read Proverbs 11:22  This is a funny verse.  It shows is a word picture that is totally unexpected.  You expect to see a pretty earring in a girl's ear, but our verse shows us a picture of a gold ring in a pig's snout!  That is totally unexpected!  You never expect to see a beautiful ring in an ugly pig's nose!  Which brings us to the second part of the verse.  Just like you never expect to see a gold ring in a pig's snout, you never expect to see a pretty girl not being a proper young lady.  You never expect to see a girl telling a lie.  You never expect to see a girl being loud and noisy.  You never expect to see a girl embarrassing her parents.  You don't expect to see a girl acting like a boy.  These things just aren't expected - just like you don't expect to see a pig with a gold ring in its nose.  Girls: think and act right.  Don't act silly or rude or nasty or mean.  Don't act out of place like a gold ring in a pig's snout!
