"I put it off till I can't stand it anymore. The rottenest job in the whole house is cleaning the bathroom."


Is cleaning the bathroom still viewed as the least desirable of all household chores? Is this tast still relegated primarily to the woman of the home?

How does the angle captured by Owens serve to emphasize the drudgery of the chore? What about the woman's expression and body language?

What clues does the image communicate that place the setting squarely in the 1970's suburbia? Yet, what about the image makes it timeless?

How is the caption a commentary on the universal human vice of procrastination? Do you put off the worst chores until last, or do you employ the dscipline of delayed gratification; i.e., getting the worst tast over with first?
