I read my wife the entire section of the manual (I have a copy here) and she really got a hoot out of it. But she remembers things like that being taught in school and I can remember my mom doing the same thing when I was growing up.
My mother would always get up at 4:30am and make our lunches and breakfast for everyone in the house and after we went to work/school she always did her hair and makeup (still does to this day) after she made all of the beds and straightened the house up. She came from a very proper southern family and this was the norm back then. I guess thats where I get my traditional ideals from, even though I am a little more modernized.
And just for the record I really do not wear dresses.... LOL!!
