1930's? Eh! Ok I guess
So I was told by the Mom Squad I HAD to fill out the 1930's house wife test. So I took it and made a 54 average. . . (screen shot since it's not loading below)
I found that most of the questions in this day and age were somewhat laughable! I will reattach a button and even hem my own pants, but dadgum! Who darns their socks anymore??? You know I don't even think my Great-Grandmother darned their socks! I do think ladies in the 1930's took care of themselves better than we do. Case and point..
Meet my Great-Grandmother, Lucille Corley Thaxton, photo taken circa.1932
She was always poised, wearing her lipstick, and donning some form of huge costume jewelry. Me? Not so much. (Sorry, hubby) Yes, after work I sport my flannel pajamas, no make up, hair piled on top of my head, while sliding in my socked feet into the kitchen to prepare "something out of a can" for dinner. *Gasp!* Sue me. All of that and I am STILL a 54% average. Lets see how you do!

Yeah, i got a 15...i am horrid.
Lucille is a great name, btw.
Oh well. I thought 54% was not very good, but as I patrol the BLOG world it seems I didn't do too bad after all. I want to see Andrew take the guys test..work that out for me hunh?!?!? LOLOL
he'll probably get a 150 or something!! :)
Cow always gets a laugh from the 1950's and 1960's commercials where the housewife is in heels and a nice dress.
Since Cow isn't a wife, is skipping the test...
Moo!
Yeah, I laugh at those too. Or how about those books they have at Cracker Barrel "The Year You Were Born" It's awesome to see the facts and ads which were running when you were born..Funny stuff! hmm..that gives me an idea!
Miss Mud made a new 2008 version... you could always take that one!
Well you look like your Nanah (may I call her Nanah?) I can see a resembelance. Oh yeah and I did pretty good on that wife test if you consider the scores on the other bloggs..sheesh
I wish I was as pretty as her. My mom said when she worked in the local town drug store, people always told her,
"You are pretty, but not nearly as striking as Lucille was in her day."
*sigh*
This picture really does her no justice, it just happens to be the only one I had on my PC yesterday. I'll have to drag up some good ones. I love old pictures.
Well that is rude to say to someone..I mean I would never tell someone "your pretty but not as pretty as so and so"..where in the world do people get the idea that it is ok to say mess like that??
Anyways your grandmother was very pretty.
We are talking about "small town" little old ladies... hahaha Them old bats don't know how to say something just to be nice. I bet the thought that it was rude never crossed their mind! hahaha!
I can't wait to be old so I can roll like I don't care, run over people with my walker, and say incredibly rude things and get away with it. he he he
I'm not saying....
I'm just sayin'
Ha! I was superior....albeit not sure how.....I see Meg eye's in that pic....
