About a week before Christmas, my parents came up to my house, picked up all three of my kids, and freed me for almost 60 hours. While my kids were out of town visiting my parents, I made some startling observations and learned some very important lessons. In fact, I think these lessons are so important, I am going to share them with you.
- Contrary to what Toy Story teaches us, when toys are picked up and put away, they do not climb down off their shelves or crawl out of toy boxes and scatter themselves through a room.
- Toothpaste does not spread itself across the bathroom counters.
- I will not drowned in the shower without close supervision from a 5 year old. In fact, not only did I not drowned, I got completely and thoroughly clean.
- I am fully capable of going to the bathroom without assistance from kids and dogs.
- Unless you specifically tell them otherwise, men will assume the empty can on the counter is part of the new kitchen decor and it will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
- Men are genetically incapable of reading the laundry label that are in clothes. Even men who do laundry and understand the finer points of sorting laundry will overlook the tag that says HAND WASH ONLY in big letters and will shrink at least one article of clothing in your time together.
- Men obviously experience illness in a different manner than women because a man who gets a little cold is incapable of functioning and women with the same cold continue to cook, clean, work, etc.
