Informant’s first encounter w/ Folklore: early childhood, w/ grandparents
When Folklore is performed: when critiquing hypocritical behavior
Transcript

My informant would hear his grandfather of Spanish descent often make this passing remark when critiquing someone with hypocritical behavior. The saying speaks to hypocrisy, for the man who works with metals all day goes home to wooden utensils.
