Having Fun With 13 Images From a Dutch Household Encyclopedia
Found at Flickr, without any text or descriptive info, we might as well enjoy them by adding our own meanings...
1) Hey, look at you! You're really growing-up and the talk of the town. It's time to start looking for a mate or before you know it you'll be one of those old maids!
2) Beauty begins now. Best start preparing your own rituals of lotions & potions to preserve in wax what you can of your youth.
3) You might need some guidance and help with determining your own beauty needs. Then, as now, the rule remains: All the best hairdressers are gay.
4) How does she stay so fair?
Hats with brims rounder & wider than her derriere.
5) Remember, hats must match the purse.
6) Maintaining your figure is important. "Wide" is not lovely, but protrusion is.
An improbably large and pointy bosom a-top a whisper of waist is as important as a bodonkadonk bottom.
7) Remember, men
Remember, you'll need to learn his personal preferences so that when he says, "Jump!" you'll know just how high.
8) Advice on selecting a mate continues.
Should you suffer from large, wide, puffy hips, try to find a mate with an enormous head. While walking side-by-side, your hips will seem more naturally sized in the shadow of his out of proportion head.
9) We've all heard the sordid tales of babies who do not look like their daddies... But sometimes babies will not look like their mommies. Don't ask; just let it pass.
10) Any frustration you have can be released by shopping. Let the distraction of matching accessories -- and his department store bill -- be your consolation.
11) A word on dads and childrearing... Dads do not rear their children.
It is so unlikely that even the artist drew a question mark by the little girl's potty.
12) Should you ever see such things, rest assured they are hallucinations -- and seek medical attention. Your doctor will know what to do and prescribe just the right pills for your ills.
13) Should it all ever become too much for you, slip your pills into his dinner -- just be sure not to give little Johnny the same Special Daddy Dish!
