Just Like A Woman

So, there I am on Victoria Day, hacking away at my front (formerly paved) mud patch (Read: good old Toronto clay), with a spade, trying to turn it into a garden. Neighbourhood old guy passes and says in a thick Italian accent, "You are working like a man."

No honey. If I were working like a man, someone would be in the house making me drinks and dinner. Since I'm the bitch who'll be making the meal post shovelling, I have this to say to Old Guy: I am working like a woman. And that is way HARDER.

OMG...that gave me a chuckle. You are sooooo right. I have to say...I'm not to sure the girls in the 70's did us that much of a favor...we are now bringing home the bacon, after shopping for it, cooking it, cleaning up after it and are left taking out the garbage.

Love the Diamond Fantasy Shawl...
