Caption This: A 1950s Homemaker Ponders…

captionthiskitchen.jpe

What do you think this young homemaker from the 1950s is thinking about?

“I wonder if that gold refrigerator I bought will look dated in a few years?”

“Should I hang that horse and jockey wallpaper in my kitchen?”

“If only I had a portable stereo in here!”

Write your own caption for her in the comments and tell us what you think she’s got on her mind.

(I’m working through the weekend on a project deadline, so I hope you guys will come up with some good captions to keep me entertained while I’m slaving away. Come on–don’t fail me now!)

    She’s thinking, “I wonder…if I substitute soymilk for regular, will my husband still eat it?”

    That’s a good one, Maya. This photo does in fact resemble what I probably looked like, standing in my kitchen yesterday and pondering whether I could substitute natural, organic peanut butter for the usual Skippy without my kids noticing.

    And, as all the moms out there can probably guess–they DID notice that it was different–and neither of them said, “Yum! Thanks, Mom, for helping us make healthier choices!”

    “I’ve heard that too much butter is bad for the figure”. Check out the amount of butter in that dish!!

    Oh, you’re right, Janet! There’s like, three or four sticks of butter crammed in there!

    “Hmmm, did I get that Lipitor prescription refilled?”

    Hmmm, now let’s see….have I had two cocktails today or three?

    class of 56:

    Now let me see. If I use all that milk can I get Mr. Holmes to come back tonight and deliver me another quart before supper. That cake is not as good if we don’t have milk to drink with it.

    Jodi W, I’ve been trying to come up with a way to work “valium” into a caption for her, and your cocktails caption came closest to what I had in mind. Ha.

    Irishof–that’s a good one! You always make me laugh.

    Class of 56–I wish I had a milkman to deliver some a bottle to us this weekend. We’re always running out!

    “Whatever possessed me to combine this many shades of yellow, cream, and gold in one kitchen?! Maybe I should ditch it all and go with blue and white…”

    “hmm… is it our first date anniversary or is it the anniversary of our first fight…”

    Is it milk or eggs that gives my mother in law horrible stomach pains?

    You guys are cracking me up.

    My six-year old says, “She’s trying to think what to cook for dinner.” I’m afraid she sees that “What on earth am I going to make tonight??” look on my face every night around 5:30…. ;-)

    elisabeth:

    like most women of the 1950s, she was thinking, “Did I remember to take my diet pills this morning?”

    You all have such creative captions!

    I think she is thinking ” When the hell is he going to cook dinner for me, the slob!”

    “Hmm … is that the milkman’s ring? or did John forget his keys again?”
