A Riddle: What did mothers ....

[mjahn]

... tell their daughters in 1956?

No further clues will be given. First one to get it right will be rewarded with a WIP Screenie. Oh, that's another clue.

 

[Naismith]

Keep yer hand on yer ha'penny.

 

[mjahn]

Good advice but No.

 

[huub vink]

Be aware of the guy singing heart break hotel?

 

[jankees]

have you tried those new style swimsuits yet?

 

[Dain Arns]

That any woman can grow up, find their 'Prince Charming', and become a Princess too?
Look at Grace Kelly.

What did mothers

... tell their daughters in 1956?

Not even going to try and guess. A good riddle but, what part of the world is your riddle based in?

"Is that United DC-7 coming closer, honey?"
- "I don't know, mom. Oh, look! The Grand Canyon!"

First aviation-related thing in 1956 I could think of.



If it's a *real* mother-daughter thing...

"Stay away from that hip-swinging singer from TV! If I find one of his albums in your bedroom, you're off to the convent!"

 

[mjahn]

Grace Kelly ... not so bad, also answers the question what part of the world ... in a sense. Otherwise you're getting fairly cold, around -45°.

 

[Bjoern]

Otherwise you're getting fairly cold, around -45°.

31. Oktober: Das erste Flugzeug landet am Südpol. Die Expeditionsgruppe der US Navy um Admiral George Dufek hat den Auftrag, den Bau der Amundsen-Scott-Südpolstation vorzubereiten.

But then again...no family issues there.

Stay away from men with 36 inch zippers? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

(Flight-suits have 36 inch zippers for you dirty minded types)<o></o>

"What do you call this tiny piece of cloth??? Beekeenee?"

May 21, 1956. First air drop of an H-bomb by a B-52 on Bikini Atoll.


Cookie? :naturesm:

 

[mjahn]

Any further hint would immediately give it away, I think. Believe me, I took great pains not to make this google-able either.

Otherwise you're getting fairly cold, around -45°.

Hmmm is that hint at degrees south???

I would guess something in AUS but then again the Bell X was being used in 1956???

Candy bomber?

All I can say is once the cat's out of the bag there will be a chorus of "I knew that!"

Candy bomber I like, obviously, but it's not 1956 is it?

Roger Vadim is a very perceptive man?

In 1956 mothers ( according to Doris Day) said:

Que sera, sera.
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera.
What will be, will be.

From "The Man Who Knew Too Much"
Hmmmm.. I sense a Jimmy Stewart connection here...

[srgalahad]

Which leads us to Jimmy Stewart....

Hmmm... a number of choices in his 'life'

B-17's, B-24's, B-36's, X-15's, a "Reindeer", a Ryan NYP, a certain 'bush' single... a resurrection in the desert....
