1930s wifery!

How good of a 1930s housewife are you?

Marital Chart

Gentlemen, beware! I scored a -8. I scored a -13 by “Doesn’t like children,” he means “Doesn’t actually intend to spawn.”

I’d really like to see what the husband’s chart looks like.

    Awesome. I suppose I shouldn’t be trumpeting too much over how great I am, since the seams in my hose are never crooked and I’m always dressed when I eat breakfast.

    this chart doesn’t make sense to me. how could you possibly score a 76 or higher? when i add up all the good qualities the maximum score is 25. explain to me if i’m being retarded plz.

    I’m a zero, but would be a -1 if they didn’t specify nail polish color. My favorite is blue, not red.

    I’m guessing that the reason you couldn’t possibly score higher than 25 is that this is only page one of the test.

    WIFE’S RAW SCORE

    Any chance at all of seeing the “Husband’s Chart”? It might be just as funny.

    Actually, follow the flickr link above– it’s there, and it’s a hoot, too. My favorite from the first page: ( 1) “Reads newspapers, books, or magazines aloud to wife.” Now, is that because wives don’t have time to read between cooking, cleaning, and changing diapers, or because wives shouldn’t be expected to know how to read?

    Apparently, my bf and I are both good husbands, but terrible wives. Fancy that.

    Cool! Finally a test I sucked at!
    What happens if you “fail”? You get a spanking from your husband…?
