I found this particular passage really touching...
By Dick Amman
"... About three o'clock in the afternoon, Mom would straighten the house, vaccuming and dusting, and by the time we walked in from school, she'd be in the kitchen with her apron on, preparing the evening meal. ....
When dinner was just about ready, she'd go freshen up, changing clothing and putting on makeup. When one of my sisters once asked her how come she "got ready" and changed clothes right before dinner, Mom smiled and said, "Because my husband is coming home." When our father walked into the house from work, he was greeted with a delicious home-cooked meal on the table and Mom, all decked out in a fresh, pretty apron."
All I wanted was a better world. A world where men were men and women were cherished and lovely. A world of romance and beauty, of tuxedos and chiffon, a perfect world. I'm in love with a waltz and a town... ...and a man. Claire Wellington as portrayed by Glenn Close in The Stepford Wives.
