The difference between men and women

The other day I took to decorating our new bathroom a little. During the kids' rest time I put up a new shower curtain, hung a picture, put a new bathmat out, and a new matching hand towel. Nothing major but it definitely looked decorated. Later that day Jack commented that he liked what I had done to the bathroom. I said thanks and then asked him how he knew I had done it. He then said, 'Well I don't for sure, but decorating the bathroom doesn't really seem like something Dad would have done.'

On a related note, tonight right after dinner Addie started 'helping' me by clearing off the table, putting away trivets, etc. All the children had already done the necessary clearing of their own dishes required before being excused. . The boys had retreated to their room to play with soldiers. Addie was free to go too, but her idea of 'playing' was to imitate Mom.

Some things you just don't have to teach....

Addie is a great help because she knows where everything belongs and she tries hard to get it there. Why don't you put Charles in charge of decorating a bathroom----or do you lack that kind of courage?:>)
