Great Grandma the Indian fighter

I used to play on a bear skin rug in my great grandmother's cabin. She was a famous Indian fighter.
One hot July day she was on the front stoop churning butter. When three indians with too much firewater in them showed up. Fearing they would burn her cabin down she commenced to fight with the only thing she had a butter churn.
She dumped the churn on top of one and started beating the other two with the stick. They ran off into the branch where they meet up with a bear. The bear ate them.
Come to think of it that's how she come by the bear skin rug. He kept coming by to beg for another hot buttered Indian.

No stoop is derived from the Dutch word stoep. A porch is a raised structure. Since a cabin is not raised stoop is the proper term. Yes I'm typical American a mixed ancestry. Irish,French, Jewish,German ,native American.

After growing up in Balto City i became a country boy living in various county locations.

No stoops in the country i guess, that's why i lost track of the term.

You say stoop here you’re bending over. Like she stooped to pick up a stick

Stoop is a porch that isn't raised. It's also to bow.
