Village Squire, 1977-08, Page 13A Housewife's Quiz
BY
SANDRA ORR
If you've heard your husband discussing the virtues of a
mail order bride preferably of foreign tongue, so she can't
talk so much and even if she does he won't have to listen
because it will give him a headache, over the back -forty fence,
then now is the time to find out what a good wife you really
are.
Here is the Happy Housewife with the emphasis on the
Wife Quiz. Give yourself a point for each question you can say
yes to.
1) Do you forget to fill his thermos every day and instead
give him one with yesterday's remains in it?
2) Do you inadvertently leave the foil wrapper on a piece of
cold meat so he will have a little "extra" in his sandwich to
grit his teeth on?
3) Do your bread wrapper clips pile up in corners? (Be
truthful.)
4) Do you clean the house thoroughly at your eye level but
leave dusty ledges at his higher level?
5) Do you keep folding together one good sock and one
holey sock only to be rewarded by a series of curses as he goes
through the drawer?
6) Do you sew the front pocket that has a hole in it to the
back of his pants?
7) Forget to include a spoon with the jelly and expect him to
eat it with his hands?
8) Leave the salt shaker unfilled for a week (this has been
upped from a misdemeanor to a felony and is worth two points
if you say yes)?
9) Not run to get the ketchup when it is noted missing?
10) Proffer a menu for the supper meal reading: Appetizer,
Main Course. and Dessert: An All -in -One Special -ketchup,
with or without a straw?
11) Do you give him shorts with red hearts and 'Love that
Man' on them for his birthday (written in felt pen)?
12) Do you leave hand washing (nylons) in the sink for
days? This is really low and counts for two.
13) Say you're going to pick him up at work and then fall
asleep and forget to wake up?
Score: Zero to Two Yeses: The International Resourceful
Wife Award of the year to you. Think up a brand new recipe
and cook it for supper.
Score: Ten Yeses: You don't have to be perfect but how
would you like to wear socks with holes in them?
Score: Fifteen Yeses: Don't feel sorry for yourself. Pity the
poor fella that's married to yuh.
Breakaway:
Too much bench time slows
you down. Get active. Get in
shape and put yourself
in the clear
Fitness is fun.
