Men Are From Mars


I know that some people get irritated with the broad generalizations about men and women.  The differences of the species...so much so that you wonder how we ended up with male/female pairing being the most common. 

As I look at this photo of my eldest son cutting onions...I not only have to laugh out loud, but I see a man who has found a practical solution to cutting onions...his snowboarding goggles.  This is the reality of man, have a problem...solve it with the simplest solution...done...finished...adios mama..no drama.

Whereas if you go in any kitchen shop, watch cooking shows, look at the numerous cooking manuals, we finds many ways to solve the onion cutting problem.  From processes, to special devices for chopping onions. 

Another case in point was the million uses of duck tape discovered by man...my friend Val's son used duck tape on his little brother and made for a nice photo shot.

Yes, as women we may shake our heads...but there is truly something hysterical about a man cutting onions with goggles on...and...even more spectacular is that the man is cooking dinner!  The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree (their dad cooks, his father cooked...and I am sure that their great grandfather must have cooked)...and as with all parents, if we listen...we learn a lot from our children.

Gotta go get Greg a pair of goggles.
