Men!

Do you ever sit back and think to yourself as a female, how do men survive without females? How the universe made the male gene so...well lets say unbelievably not functional without a female around. I say this because we females know that without a female in a males life, it makes it impossible for them to survive on their own. Think about it, without use around, they would not be able to find anything, think for themselves, do their laundry, cook a nice meal, etc.

I have been married to my sweetheart 8 years now with two beautiful boys, I would not change that for the world, but there are some days when I just laugh to myself or even better prove that I am right if I was not around. There are some days were I would love to be invisible and watch them to see if they could survive on their own for at least 24 hours.

Seriously, and example would be: Telling the hubby where something is in the fridge or the cabinets, and him coming back and saying, "I can not find it" and then I go in there and follow the exact same instructions and.... BAM there it is right in front of my face. Common on dude, if it were a snake it would have jumped out and bit ya! Or, prime example, last night the hubby was looking for his clean long john's for work. I specifically said, "I just washed them, they are folded and in the basket downstairs". He goes down to the laundry room were the basket was and came up with only the bottoms and said, "I can't find the thermal top, I only found the bottoms." I said, did you look through your side of folded clothes because I know that I folded them and placed them all together." He replies back, "yes, I looked and did not see the top, just the bottoms." So, I go downstairs myself to the laundry room were once again the basket of folded clothes were. (I mind you, I did the laundry, but I did not bring the clothes up to be put away, would it have been that hard for him to grab the basket since he was coming back upstairs and save me a trip....no that would have been to easy). I come back upstairs with the basket and...behold....the "missing top" to his long johns, that was folded with his side of the clothes. I said, "dude, it was right there on top folded, you did not even bother to look." His response, "I did look and I never saw them". Once again, point proven, you did not look and again if it were a snake it would have bit you!

What about folding laundry, especially towels? Don't get me wrong, I know I sound like some kind of OCD freak (oh wait I am, but with marriage and kids it has eased up) but...I truly do hate when he folds my clothes. I know, bless his heart he is just trying to help me, but I have to go back and refold my clothes, if not it's just a wad of material. Towels....there is a specific way to fold towels, I can show him a hundred times over and over and still, he can not seem to comprehend the folding directions.

Look, I could go on and on about the male DNA until my face turned blue, but it doesn't do any good. Love em to death, but goodness, when it comes to the "complicated task", dear just let the women step in and do it, that way we know it gets done right the first time.
