Mommy Could You Smoke Before You Yell

vintage marlboro ad

Before the Marl­boro Man these were mar­keted toward women, moms specif­i­cally.

Doesn’t this ad just warm your hearts? I mean my kids never offer me any­thing fun before I “scold” them. Instead they just look at me like I’m a mad woman & go about their merry way.

I think that it must have been more fun to be a mom back before we got “aware­ness” & we learned about that pesky health stuff. I mean kids offer­ing par­ents cig­a­rettes? That seems like a great idea, minus the whole can­cer & other dis­eases thing. Killjoys.

And look at how cute those babies are. What mother could deny a pusher like that? I say bring on the babies! Let the good times roll again. Although now that I think about it I’d pre­fer a mixed drink myself.

mom cleaning

I think I’m doing some­thing wrong when clean­ing. My vac­uum has wheels but I’m not fly­ing with excite­ment when using it. I’m pretty sure after see­ing this that I’ve been using the wrong way all these years.   I mean if she’s happy vac­u­um­ing, I should be too.  Isn’t that how it works?

Well maybe this is my prob­lem.  I am think­ing of laun­dry all wrong.  I should be think­ing of it as part of my eman­ci­pa­tion as a woman.   Who knew laun­dry was a Fem­i­nist cry.
