Are you a domestic god/goddess, or the opposite? (which shall hereinafter be referred to as "an Alirsnan"). Take my handy quiz and find out!
1. The only way you’d be wearing crocs at 10 am is:
a. You’re home sick
b. You have the day off. What’s wrong with crocs?
c. You can’t find your slippers, and you’re afraid to walk on
the floor barefoot.
2. You're a bit embarrassed to admit it, but in the past week your house once smelled like:
a. Pine-scented floor cleaner, instead of the lemon scent.
b. Sour milk.
c. Slurng (That’s the word you’ve invented to describe the
unique combined smell of stale urine, mud, fresh urine, and the eggs your child
hid under their bed three weeks ago).
3. When you look at Martha Stewart, you think:
a. Amateur.
b. I want some of what she’s on.
c. I hope to never be on whatever she’s on.
4. You use your kids old, stained clothing as:
a. Fabric patches for the unique, hand-made quilts you sew in your spare time.
b. Cleaning rags.
c. Clothing for your kids.
5. Cleaning help is:
a. For the weak.
b. For the rich.
c. Something your spouse has learned not to expect from you.
6. Do you ever plan out meals for the week in advance?
a. You tried that, but planning for just one week seemed inefficient, so you went back to a monthly menu.
b. You tried that, but it was just too much of a hassle
c. You considered it, but it seemed kind of pointless writing, “Cheerios
– Chocolate sandwich – Frozen pizza” over and over like that.
7. Is there a recipe you’re known for?
a. Stuffed leg of lamb with balsamic-fig-basil sauce.
b. That cake made with cake mix, pudding mix, chocolate chips and cool whip.
c. Charcoal cookies.
Scoring:
Mostly As: You are a bona fide domestic goddess. Women either admire you or spend every interaction subconsciously searching for imperfections. Men don't notice.
Mostly Bs: If you ask me, you're normal. If you know me, you'll deem my assessment of your normality worthless. It's a bit of a catch-22.
Mostly Cs: You're a kindred spirit. We should hang out! Preferably at your house.

Great quiz! I read #5 and thought - so true. But I read #6 and thought - no way. Despite the chocolate sandwiches, those kids have more healthy, delicious, home-prepared meals than 90% of other families!
ReplyDeleteHey, I didn't say that I scored all Cs. I would have chosen 5 and 6 as my non-C answers.
ReplyDelete6 - the kids eat lots of chocolate sandwiches, but to be fair, I plan it in advance.
5 - I do lots of work! Just not with visible results.
