The Noble Ambitions of a Housewife
While studying European History with Gullino, we noticed that the centuries-old discrimination of women has always constricted them to having little more ambition in life than running a satisfactory household. For example, 18th century wives of English imperialists in India aspired to learn Hindu in order to better govern their servants. So I have compiled a list of what a modern housewife might aspire to do:
(written from the perspective of a housewife)
1. Create a sponge that quickly and more efficiently washes dishes
2. Purchase books so that my husband might read them to me
3. Own several dresses of the same color so that I might avoid laundry for a couple of days
4. Aquire gardening skills so that I can have the neighborhood's prettiest yard
5. Name my children Francois and Lord William because they deserve only the best
6. Ensure that my children are shielded from offensive television programs such as America's Next Top Model and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
7. Entertain fellow housewives with tea and stimulating conversations about sewing and bridge
8. Invent new and exciting snacks for the children: prehaps a bite sized bagel with pizza toppings (I could call it a "bagel bite")
9. Memorize excerpts from Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue"
10. Learn songs from The Sound of Music on the guitar so I can teach the family like Frauline Maria did
