HBH 1892 May 26 Woman has nothing to do How can a man say that woman has nothing to do? In one year she gets dinner 365 times, washes the dishes 1095 times, gets the children ready for school twice a day for 260 days, gets the baby to sleep for 1460 times, makes about 300 calls, and, as she wishes for something she hasn't every minute, she wishes 60 things an hour, or 262,800 things in a year. And yet she does more talk in a day than two average Parliaments can get through in a week-The writer of the above could never have sat in a New Zealand Parliament.
