"I have found that there is romance in housework: a charm in it; and whimsy and humor without end. I have found that the housewife works hard, of course - but likes it. Most people who amount to anything do work hard, at whatever their job happens to be.
The housewife's job is home-making, and she is, in fact, 'making the best of it'; making the best of it by bringing patience and loving care to her work; sympathy and understanding to her family; making the best of it by seeing all the fun in the day's incidents and human relationships.
The housewife realizes that home-making is an investment in happiness. It pays everyone enormous dividends. There are huge compensations for the actual labor involved.
The housewife whose songs I sing as I go about my work, is the one who likes her job."
