Oh holy CRAP! Ah... crud. Oh, dear me.
Bit of back story. My mom met my dad in the Navy in WW II and she was 15 years older than he was. They were both registered pharmacists and she had to balance work, doing all the store's accounts and ordering, raising two kids, running the house, etc. My mom had me when she was 44. I'm the oldest living and have a sister 3+ years younger. I was born in 1951 and graduated high school in 1970. My mom's mom [my grandmother] was born sometime in the late 1800's, thereby making my mom a depression era kid. I can can a whole chicken, make any jam/jelly/conserve you can name, bake breads and cakes from scratch, make lye soap, sew my own wedding gown, weave or braid a rag rug, milk a cow, etc.
Is it any wonder the test came out this way?
BTW - no, I don't really act this way in today's day and age, but it *was* how I was raised. Talk about generation head-on crash.
