A woman's work is never done

BREEZY MONDAY

Sometimes people like to post old print ads on Facebook, or sometimes compile a whole lot and share them with friends by email. They are often quite humorous, especially if you are old enough to remember what they are talking about. Recently I saw one that must have been from the 1950s. It showed a wife in a floral print dress and apron, hair nicely coiffed, wearing high heels, duster in hand. Her husband, apparently just back from work, meets her with open arms.

The headline goes: So the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks!

Usnisa ja, in the old days the housewives did not have the internet, Facebook and all those distractions so they had time to look good while they were doing the work. :)

PS I would make sure you had a dish washing machine.

Doesn't sound like you're too likely to have your life complicated further by a husband. But look on the bright side - A Buddhist Thai lady told me that a lady can come back next time as a man if she has good karma. There's HOPE!
