Men and Women are Different

No. This isn’t some deep theological post on complementarianism. It’s actually just some thoughts I had this morning that made me laugh to myself and I thought you might enjoy too …

HOW A GUY (let’s call him Ted) MAKES A BABY BOTTLE
– Go to the kitchen.
– Wash hands.
– Make bottle.
– Give milkies to baby.

HOW A GAL (let’s call her Lara) MAKES A BABY BOTTLE
– Go to the kitchen.
 – See that we don’t have multiple bottles of water in reserve. Go to basement to get more water. See that receipts need filing in basement office and there is laundry to throw in. File receipts. Start load of laundry. Grab bottles of water and head back upstairs.
– See mittens, scarves, and boots on back landing. Set down water bottles. Put clothing away in front closet. See pillows needing straightening in living room. And books. And baby toys. Do a quick touch up of living room. Since arms are full of stuff to put away anyway, grab things from dining room too. Run (or limp if you’ve just had knee surgery) downstairs again to put away stuff and upstairs to put away stuff.
– Think of three things for the shopping list. Add to list. Make list of school goals for six year old for the morning and list of to-do’s for babysitter later in day. Water plants. Fill dog dish with water. See dust in bathroom and think, “I could take care of that with just ONE Windex’d paper towel.” Quickly wipe down mirror and shelf in bathroom.
– Finally back in the kitchen? Wash hands.
– Make bottle.
– Give milkies to baby.
