Father prepares supper while his teenage son scrubs the pots and pans - USA, 1952 

I believe that is a famed Westinghouse Roaster to the right!

The link doesn't seem to work, Miss penfloor250.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Miss Penfloor's famed Westinghouse Roaster.

Thank you.

I never knew they existed, before today.

I'll be darned - we had one of those roasters, too.

As did we. Hmmm.

I suppose both Mr. Hutch and Mr. Bitter Green have been frantically telephoning their parents to see if they are still in the garage (the roasters, I mean), where they were unceremoniously dumped when the microwaves were delivered! No doubt they fetch a fortune on Ebay!

Thanks for coming to my rescue, Mr Tommy Astriatus- I am afraid computers baffle me at times.

Oh, thank Heavens, a "kindred spirit"!

Alas, I'm certain that the roaster went out with everything else when Mum moved to a retirement home - I suppose someone else has it on ebay now.

The rotters!

This is a fake. There isn't an American man who would admit he knew how to wash dishes in 1952, let alone wash them and then be caught by the photographer! The bubbas down at the VFW will never let Leroy Wordley Senior live this manly disgrace down. He may be forced to join the Shriners or something. But he will be out of the Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibilty Church Bowling League for Men -- maybe forever. His son may be forced to try out for the gymnastics team or to be a boy cheerleader even! Oh, the horror and the disgrace! And all caught on film - and now half way around the world!
