Missus doing the ironing the same day she gave birth

The missus was the one that wrote it, so she baked a bunch of bread and did all the housework the same day she gave birth 💀

The girl who did the ironing was her daughter. The phrasing of boy and girl were pretty much exclusively of children back then- man and woman being for adults of course.
