Top O' The Morning

A Day In The Life

Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it. - George Carlin

From a certain height, men and women look the same, as if psychological and biological features were simply an accident of perspective and not something ordained by God.

Yet, they do differ in many countless ways. 

Do you suppose this is true? 

In this series, I thought it might be fun to test this theory based on data on a couple of people I know best, Hubby and myself. Plus, since I'm in the mood to go quasi-Shakespeare, I'm presenting said data via scenarios set in a 16th century one-act play.

Mwa: I wonder if Chippy be awaked. Hey-ho, sing hey-ho. This life is most jolly.

Hubby: Tut.

Mwa: I tell thee. I'm out of yarn. Prithee, wilt thou go with me?

Mwa: To Meijer. Tis but a few blocks away.
