Not Betty Crocker

Hello most humans and many others,

I know when I think of Betty Crocker, I think of cooking. However, when Missy Linda was a senior in high school, she won the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award. She has a little metal to prove it. At that time, the Home Ec teacher told the students that they would be surprised who would receive the honor at the awards assembly, having forgotten that Missy Linda was in that class. The reason it was supposed to be surprising was that Missy Linda had not taken that class except for her senior year. Most of the girls had been in Home Ec for four years. (All that was required to win was to make the highest grade on a test sent out by the Betty Crocker people!)

Anyway, I maintain that Missy Linda should be stripped of her award, unless the Homemakers of Tomorrow (or today) aren't required to do anything!

Example: Yesterday, late afternoon/early evening, Missy Linda is vacuuming. Tio Kane yells out, "Is someone coming over?" Mr. Nelson had run as far to the corner of the yard as he can get because he is terrified of the vacuum, possibly because it has been run so infrequently in the time that he has lived here. He hasn't had a chance to get accustomed to it.

Example: I think that the last time I saw the top of the dining table was when we last had guests for dinner- - -and that has been a while. Same story for the coffee table.

That's all the time I have today, but I will give you so many examples that one of you out there will feel compelled to contact the Betty Crocker people to get that award rescinded!
