Actually, I think it's from the book, "Farrell" By Ross Wasielke.

Your poor DH had a rough time of it. I don't expect this to be nearly so
bad.

Thanks, Dee!

I head for the honey myself with a spoon. First thing I think of; I think
it is therapeutic, although I couldn't prove it.

google turns up 'victor, victoria,' with 'more inconvenient' in place
of 'worse.' i know i'd heard the line before. it could have been
stolen, though.

Ah, yes, I remember thatline now from VV. I'm sure it was stolen from
somewhere by someone.

I use dinner and supper interchangeably, as did my mother before me.

I use dinner for the largest meal of the day. If that's in the
evening then the midday meal is lunch, and supper isn't used except
maybe for a late evening snack. If the largest meal of the day is
midday, then supper is the evening meal. -aem

If you were a serious farmer working the fields you'd milk the cows at
5:00 and then have breakfast when you were finished, maybe at 6:00 a.m.
Then you'd have a little lunch around 10:00, dinner at noon, coffee at
3:00 and supper at 6:00 or so after the evening milking. Note that
lunch is a light meal, and coffee is accompanied by sweet treats.
Breakfast , dinner, and lunch are all likely to be substantial.

And if you were the farmer's wife, between cooking and
cleaning up,
you'd never get out of the freakin' kitchen!

I guess that's the way I was raised. We had our big meal in the
afternoon on Sunday, so what usually would have been "dinner" was
"supper", except we had popcorn for Sunday supper.

I don't use the term "supper" anymore, but I don't have a big meal in
the middle of the day either.

Somehow, though, they did. There was gardening and laundry to be done,
as well as some do-gooder work, likely. Nowadays, many farm wives have
a job outside the home * hopefully on with medical insurance as a
benefit.

On grandparents farms, it was always up at 4:00am, breakfast after the cow
duty, never anything to eat between breakfast and noon-time meal. Never
anything to eat between noon at 5:00 p.m. on the dot. Nothing, nada! Coffee
between meals? Unheard of. After 5:00 meal, never a drop of food passed
our lips until the next morning. (Bed at 8pm always.)

No booze or wine either ;-))
