  1. Love the top one by Bernhardt. Women working outside the home was frowned upon back then. From about 1974 onward though, they’ve had to whether they’ve wanted to or not. #7 (bottom) is great too. Mrs. didn’t count on her husband finding her kitchen cash stash hiding place. Fortunately, it’s all about the sugar.
