Historical Bits & Pieces Next time you wash your hands and the water temperature isn't exactly how you like it, consider how things used to be in the....1500s. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, a month of Sundays is still a month of Sundays (with lots of hard work during the week....). So to mask that delicate odor, brides carried a bouquet of flowers. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then came the sons and other menfolk; the women were next and finally the children. Last of all, the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." |
