Women are smarter...........
Mike Said:
Yeah, that's right. Women are smarter. OK, do I really believe that? No. Well...................ok yeah, sometimes. For example, how does Jenn know how to get the baby to sleep after she's been squirming around, crying, pointing towards the door, and all around protesting going to bed for me? Couldn't tell you, but she does it. Also, she just has the instincts to know how to keep Allie occupied all day with Little People, ring around the rosie, dancing BooBah's and whatever else is around the house. OK, now with that being said, do I think she has all the answers? No, but she knows a hell of a lot! I stayed home with Allie one day last week because she was sick and by the end of the day I was done. I give anyone that stays home with kids all day a lot of credit. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, especially my daughter, but it's hard work taking care of a kid with a horrible cough and a 102.5 fever. Everything upsets them. When Jenn came home after work and a quick trip to the store, she could tell I was beat. Meanwhile, Jenn stayed home with Allie Monday since she still wasn't 100%, and somehow got her to sleep for two 2.5 hour naps, and both of them were smiling away when I came home at 5:30pm. Whatever she does, it works.
Now, lets talk about how I don't understand my wife's obsession of going shopping on Black Friday.......................THIS is something that I am smarter than she is on. I avoid shopping like the plague everyday of the year, let alone THAT day. Am I right guys? All of them must have a defective part of their brain that makes them enjoy that hell hole of a day!

Your right. Women are smarter. Aaaand, do you have to do any Christmas Shopping, except to buy for me? No? Ok, well then shut up! lol
*takes credit card* *kiss*
end of post.
Oh wait, the baby. Well, I should be better than you at SOMETHING! Your cleaner, more organized, remember shit, and now you even make more money than I do. So give a girl sumthin! I play better ring around the rosie than you do, and I have long hair that lulls babies to sleep *shrug* whatcha gonna do?
Come on though seriously, any of you go shopping on Black Friday? It's usually how I kick off my Christmas Shopping. Although this year I actually bought a couple of gifts already. YAY! Anyway, on Friday my mother, aunt, cousin, and I all wake up early and shop till we have blisters on our feet! And I don't care what you all think, we have a ball!
It is funny though how when I talk to people about shopping on Friday everyone says I'm crazy, and how they would NEVER shop that day. Meanwhile...the stores and malls are packed. Hmmmmmmm
So come on spill it. You go shopping on Black Friday, ADMIT IT!

9 Say it:
Speaking of holiday shopping and dumb men . . . when I was in college I worked retail. I loved to work Christmas Eve because that was when all the guys came shopping for their wives. They would buy whatever I told them at any cost as long as I gift wrapped and got them out of there pronto. It was AWESOME (and so was my commission).
Happy Thanksgiving! Happy shopping! Cheers to smart women and the guys who help us carry our packages in at the end of the shopping day.
Girl you are not alone. I did it too, with three of my girl friends. Nick and our guy friends did take 6 kids to the zoo though.
ANd I don't know, men and women are just smarter about different things.
LOL- oh man! women rule, guys drool. the end!
Jill - I ahted working retail at that time. Everything was a mess.
Melissa - See, I knew I liked you.
Jennster - We only drool over whores like you!
You guys are an amazing couple. You can read the love on the page! I identify with this post so much. My husband has a much more easy going attitude about parenting and he gets a lot done that I can't, but I am more anal about diaper changes, meal times. blah blah. So we both have our strengths.

Oh yeah, and black friday I don't do since I am Jewish and don't have to go Christmas shopping. Actually, I delude myself (with that being the only benefit of being an outsider this time of year and not getting to participate in all the fun of Christmas), but then as it gets closer to Christmas I remember how many people I love celebrate it and I realize I DO have to go Christmas shopping. So I am still in my denial phase right now about the shopping to answer your question. You will run into me at the malls in a few weeks or better yet online shopping praying that the shipping arrives in time.

I gave up the mad-post-Thanksgiving shopping rush about ten years ago when my delirious family printed out maps of the stores we were to hit and a list of who was gonna get what there. That's just insane. Too much. Although sometimes I get a little twinge of wanting to be out there feeling the energy of it all I console myself by realizing that there'll still be plenty of sales the rest of the three and half weeks before Xmas for me to go gaga over. Sorry, you two, I'm half and half on this one...but I still love you!!!
Women totally are smarter and if you don't believe me, well, Harry Belafonte is on board with this ideal, too. He even wrote a song called "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)." How can you argue with that?

women talk, on average, three times more than men; they're expert gossips but they are not smarter. Check out the link. It's one of many that can be found on the topic.
