Life in the 1500s
In our present age it is hard to imagine tolerating a single flea.
But not so long ago people practically lived in barns!
Here are some facts about the 1500s.
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in
May and were still smelling pretty good by June.
However, they were starting to smell
so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the
house had the privilege of the nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men,
then the women 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."
Here are a few more little know facts!
