Getting Ready

Why is it that men can be ready to do anything in under 10 minutes? If you told a man that he needed to pack for a week's vacation, he could be done in minutes right? No matter where he was going, he'd have a suitcase stuffed and ready to go. Then he'd wonder what was taking us so long. The guy doesn't think about sunblock. He doesn't have to worry about packing for the kids. He'll wear the same t-shirt three days running but doesn't realize that your child will only wear the red shirt with the blue shorts and the white shirt with the dinosaurs on it if it's raining outside. Did he pack baby shampoo? A first aid kit? The favorite blankie? The stuffed bear that must be on the pillow at bedtime? How about books to read? How about the DVDs to watch on the plane or in the car? How about snacks and sippy cups? Of course not. He's sitting on the couch watching the Knicks game wondering what is taking you so long. He doesn't need makeup or moisturizer. If he forgets a razor or deodorant, he'll pick it up at the hotel. Easy breezy. He doesn't care about shoes or the right outfit for every setting. He doesn't need products to keep his hair from frizzing. This guy has nothing to worry about. He pees standing up. He doesn't get emotional. He never feels fat. And he can pack in five minutes. Boy, men sure do have it easy!
