 | 76 As a 1930s wife, I am |
Ok, I totally stole this idea from Freaky Frugalite's blog, but it's so funny I had to share (she actually had a much better score than I did). There are separate tests for men and women - click on "Take the test" and see how YOU fare as a 1930s spouse!
I took them both because after doing the female one, I just HAD to see what the men's one was like. Basically it's a list of traits and you check off the ones that apply to you (some are bad traits, some are good).
The one I thought was particularly funny from the female test was, "Keeps self dainty, perfumed, and feminine."
From the male test, "Gives wife real movie kisses not dutiful "peck" on the cheek."
Let me know YOUR score! :-)
I think I scored high because of all the "greet him when he comes home from work" questions. Sometimes the job can be so stressful, so I try to be sensitive to that. As far as looking dainty, HAH! Forget that! I have work to do, lol!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the quiz. And niiiiice score! ;)
I only got a 74...must be my stocking feet and not getting dressed before breakfast...at least it's not the dope!!! In the 30's?????
ReplyDeleteJeff put me to shame...he got 110!
ReplyDeleteI accidentally discovered the definition of daintiness from the 50's...I imagine it meant the same thing in the 30's...it had to do with feminine hygiene and how using Lysterine was the best way to achieve this...feminine daintiness was used in these ads...sheesh!
