13 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

I have the sneaking suspicion that half of the things that I checked proudly ("wears red nail polish") are meant as negatives, and half the ones I left blank with guilt ("tries to drive when husband is in the car") are things that I'm supposed to pride myself on. Unsurprisingly, I score a lot higher according to "husbandly" standards ....

you are a worse wife and a better husband than me.

There's something very Zen about that ....

I got a 37 as a wife - I'm sure one of the downfalls was putting my cold feet on (future) husband at night. I do wonder which way this went, though: " Reacts with pleasure and delight to marital congress."

Of course, as a really good 1930s wife knows how to stave off neurosis and maintain marital bliss: a lovely Lysol solution right up the ol' birth canal

See, I do this too, but it falls into the positive category in my head, as the Gnu is always too warm, and I'm just doing my bit for the balance. On the second point, given that the husband test actually uses the O-word (I guess 1930's wives are supposed to be All About the Euphemism), I'm guessing positive ....

Also, erk.

I took the wife test and got negative twenty-nine.

-29.

I'm so, so much prouder than I should be.

I ... didn't even know that was possible. My competetive streak is urging me to take the test again ....

HA! Well, someone managed to get negative thirtysomething, so you have some work to do. ;)
