Father Knows Best
All this talk around here about the 50s housewife has gotten my husband a little nostalgic. He wants me to meet him at the door after a long day at the office with his pipe and slippers. The kids could give him the evening paper, and he would reward them with a pat on the head. I will have cast off my Gap low riders for a poofy dress and pearls. Salisbury steak, anyone?
If you are like my husband and miss the good old days, just take a look at these ads from the fifties that Lileks has collected. Then take a long take a long deep breath, and FINISH THE DISHES.
